This is framed in a way that I would side with Elon, but it’s editorialized. I’ve seen nothing that says @x was squatting. He did try to sell his name, but it’s because he had a desirable name.
Just having something isn’t “Cyber squatting” Cyber squatting is that shit where you buy something only in the hopes of reselling it instead of using it as your own.
According to the ars technica article, he was not squatting, he had been actively using it for 16 years. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/07/twitter-took-x-handle-from-longtime-user-and-only-offered-him-some-merch/
