This is called phoenixing. It's a grubby practice:

You genuinely think he will file bankruptcy for Twitter and make a seamless transition to Twitter X? He's talking about rebranding pretty soon (i.e tomorrow) so I don't see how it would be practicable. Not to mention he would lose his advertisers and would be unlikely to be able to replace them.

I was talking about phoenixing in general, not whether Twitter will do it in particular.

He intends to build the american WeChat, so it will become something like XChat... If you want to help him dominate the World like WeChat dominates China, yiu should stay on Twitter.

We already have American WeChat, it's called "Android" and "iOS".

Twitter is currently owned by X Corp. already and all debts and so on are owned by X Corp. I don't think renaming the site would let him claim anything further.
