Elon Musk

Billionaire Elon Musk’s social media giant X has started selling user handles no longer being used, as per emails being sent to potential buyers.

X plans to obtain millions of dollars from the program to cut down operating costs and help increase revenue.

Elon Musk’s X soliciting potential buyers for abandoned or disused handles or usernames, Forbes reported on November 4. X has started to work on a marketplace to buy handles that are no longer in use. X aims to free up inactive handles by selling to interested buyers, some are notified through emails to obtain it for a flat $50,000. 
<a href="https://coingape.com/education/who-is-elon-musk-discover-tesla-founder-investments-net-worth-and-family/">Elon Musk</a> earlier confirmed plans to free up as many as 1.5 billion usernames “soon.” After completing the name change to X and hiring Linda Yaccarino as CEO, the platform started purging defunct accounts from its site. 
Currently, X username registration policy on its website <a rel="nofollow" href="https://help.twitter.com/en/managing-your-account/x-username-rules" target="_blank">reads</a>: 
<blockquote>
 “Unfortunately, we cannot release inactive usernames at this time. Please read our inactive account policy for more detailed information.”
</blockquote> 
However, its “inactive account policy” warned users to log in every 30 days to avoid being considered inactive, but also said X was not currently releasing inactive usernames. 
Forbes said Elon Musk might want to consider purchasing at least one account soon — @handle, which hasn’t posted since 2019.
