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 >
@th3j35t3r Just did it. Will my twitter data really be deleted after a month?
That's not what I said. But I believe now you have done that, eventually your original account will drop off the archive/backup rolling cycle and be replaced by the null/dummy account. In the meantime all your posts are gone from public view and nobody can hijack your handle.
