X Corp sues social media startup over bid to claim ‘Twitter’ brand

Elon Musk’s X Corp sued a startup on Tuesday after it sought to cancel X’s Twitter trademarks so it can “bring Twitter back” as a new social media platform.

X said in the lawsuit in Delaware federal court that its Twitter brand is still “alive and well” and “not ripe for the picking,” and that Operation Bluebird’s attempt to “steal” the name constituted trademark infringement.
