Musk & Trump are now one & the same. Your Twitter data is Trumps now.
Here's how to mitigate:
1) Create a new Twitter account no identifying names etc.
2) Got to the account you're trying to obscure & change ur @/handle to make it available.
3). QUICKLY Go to the new account and change it's @handle to ur original @/handle
4). Deactivate your original account.
Eventually your original data will cycle out of their backups & nobody can take your handle.
It is done >
My account was frozen for a while because I wouldn't provide a phone number. It got unlocked accidentally when Musk took over. I'm hesitant to rock the boat. I'm not going to provide them a phone number to create a new account to kill my old one.

hmmmmm... I haven't been online for a couple of years... but I got an option to use an email or a phone number. it has taken me forever to "create" an anonymous me email/password on proton to use as my "new" account.
it's such a pain in the ass.
i've just discovered that i've got a conflict of passwords- i had no idea that GOOGLE was keeping my passwords until i started getting locked out whenever i updated a password.
arghhhhh.
