>I’ve finally got the opportunity to purchase the dead username I want

Good luck with that. You didn't really buy it, you're temporarily renting it from Musk. If you stop paying, you'll also lose your username.

Payment is one time, it doesn’t renew. They won’t sell it unless it’s inactive. It won’t be inactive.

For now. Although I doubt this would happen, they legally could write to you tomorrow demanding $100/mo because they want to.

Well any company could legally do that at any point so I'm not sure how this is any different.

The difference is not the company so much as the conviction of the person I am responding to. Although X has snagged names they want for their own use away from users
