The subhead is "X user quits paying for Twitter Blue to protest X commandeering his account." That may not matter much to Twitter.
I'd lean towards a subhead of x signals product direction while angering some users.
One good thing is Twitter does move followers etc
The end of the story is that the guy is now a big Elon Musk fan.
So... nothing to do from Twitter's perspective I guess.
+ The account didn't seem to be active recently anyway
It's not exactly new that Twitter and others take over handles.

The lesson isn't that Musk is Bad (in this instance anyway) so much as your existence on a platform continues to be at that platform's discretion.
