Title: Elon Musk takes over the X twitter account from Gene
Post by: Ron on July 27, 2023, 12:25:09 AM
I find this interesting, for the relevant fact that Gene X Hwang, is a photographer of female bodybuilding and physique, and has been around for a long time in our industry.  Seeing him lose the 'x' twitter handle just like that without anything just isn't cool.  But alas, Elon can do whatever he wants....

The owner of the @x Twitter handle confirmed that the company, now known as X, took over his account without warning or financial compensation, telling him the handle is property of X. The handle had previously belonged to Gene X Hwang of the corporate photography and videography studio Orange Photography. In a letter, the company formerly known as Twitter thanked Hwang for his loyalty and offered him a selection of X merchandise and a tour of X's HQ, as a "reflection of our appreciation

I recall an Asian photographer at the Arnold Classic around 2012-2014, in the "Brehm Room" [pump room]. But he was the photographer for the Canadian Muscle Insider magazine. I don't think it's the same person.

Is that Gene in the photo below?

Is he a personal friend of yours, Ron?

Well, it sucks but it happens.   Elon does own the domain x.com and it now goes to what's formally twitter.

The only important thing is that Musk supports free speech and we still have an inkling of it in North America. Otherwise, we'd be all thinking that Ukraine is winning the war and Biden speaks without cue cards.

Yes, that is Gene in the pic.  I have known Gene for a long time and he is always respectful! Sad to see the little guys always get the shaft from the bigger guys like that.

Every Social Media platform can and does crap like this. Ask all the people who lost their You tube channels for some bogus claim. They lose all their videos, etc. in 1 click with pretty much no recourse.
