Twitter's chief executive Elon Musk has another account “@e”, one of Twitter’s rare and highly coveted one-letter usernames, Zoë Schiffer, managing editor of internet publication, the Platformer, has revealed.
According to Schiffer, Musk used his position as chief executive and owner of Twitter to take over a user's handle shortly after he bought the platform last year.
The @e account hasn't tweeted in a while, so there isn't much information there. However, there are a few clues that Musk could be the one. Three people are being followed by the account at present: NASA, Elon Musk (@elonmusk), and LAist.
The account was created in November 2022 and has 1,908 followers.
Earlier, media reported that Twitter has considered selling high-value usernames to make more money.
In late October 2022, Musk finalized his $44Bln acquisition of Twitter, a US company founded in 2006 and headquartered in San Francisco, California. After the takeover, Musk changed the company's day-to-day operations, including sacking Twitter executives who were responsible for the platform's privacy, cybersecurity and censorship, as well as about two-thirds of Twitter's employees.
