According to a reply in the comment section, Patrick McGee, a San Francisco-based tech journalist, shared that the lawyer representing investors who are suing Musk over Tesla’s share price accidentally referred to him as “Mr. Tweet” in the courtroom on Monday. However, Musk joked it was “probably an accurate description”.

I’m sorry there’s no recording of this — it was prohibited — but basically Musk replied “Mr. Tweet?” The whole courtroom laughed. And then Musk said: “actually pretty accurate”

Going by memory here, not for the history books

It’s not the first time that Twitter has prevented users from changing their names. Last year, rapper Doja Cat changed her user name and found out she couldn’t change it back. The musician then sought Musk’s help after changing her username to ‘Christmas’.
