Social network Twitter, recently rebranded as X, has commandeered the handle "@music" from open-source software developer Jeremy Vaught, who told CNBC he created the account in 2007, and had built a community of around half a million followers there. The move on the part of the social media company raises questions about the worth of a handle on its platform. The threat of losing a handle may make it hard for creators to trust the platform enough to build there long-term Vaught told CNBC. It's not clear what X plans to do with the "@music" account now. Vaught told CNBC he is still using X, though he did set up a new account on Meta's text-based competitor Threads, and another on Mastodon.

On Sunday, Twitter's new owner and CEO Elon Musk posted an informal poll of users of the social media platform asking if he should step down as head of the company. In court in November, Musk said, "I expect to reduce my time at Twitter and find somebody else to run Twitter over time." "The question is not finding a CEO, the question is finding a CEO who can keep Twitter alive," he wrote. Tesla's largest retail shareholder, Leo Koguan, wrote in a tweet on Dec. 14, that "Elon abandoned Tesla and Tesla has no working CEO."

A large number of Twitter's contract workers discovered they were suddenly terminated this weekend after they lost access to Slack and other work systems, according to internal communications shared with CNBC by full-time Twitter employees. An estimated 4,400 of its 5,500 contract workers were cut, according to Platformer, which first reported on the cuts. Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey apologized last week for growing the company "too quickly," a day after the social media company carried out the layoffs. Since he has taken over, Musk has informed remaining Twitter employees that he sold billions of dollars worth of shares in Tesla , his electric vehicle business, to "save" Twitter.
