New Twitter launches despite Elon Musk's opposition

–

Neutral summary

Startup Operation Bluebird has launched Twitter.now, a new social network reviving the name and logo abandoned by Elon Musk's X. The platform is now available to a limited number of users for a fee, and its co-founder is former Twitter trademark counsel Stephen Coates. X sued the company and is seeking a court injunction, claiming it still owns the Twitter mark, but a judge has yet to rule.
