Getting important usernames early was always fascinating to me. It's similar to getting domains early. Like e.g. sex dot com or cooking dot com etc.
Considering how insanely valuable these domains are you'd think the @ x Twitter handle should be worth more than some merch and a meeting with Elon.
But short names like X are problematic.
Imagine a company calling itself "a". Every time you use the English indefinite article you put yourself at risk of being sued or whatever.

Right? I mean what grown man would want to hang out with HR reps building up to a hand shake with a stranger? Fucking weird.
"So you were the owner of @x eh?"
"Yeah."
"Cool."
