This needs to say x.com and all associated assets.
I can completely see musk giving them the domain keys to Twitter.com and then wiping his hands

X the site formerly know as Twitter but no longer Twitter.
I think they're a decent chance that's what they mean, anyway. "What, no, what the hell would we want with your shitty social media software? Just give us the domain name."
