 Then use it for a nostr client! 
 He’d never sell it. People still say they were on twitter and lots of news outlets state “Formally known as Twitter” 
 The Twitter name is the most valuable aspect of the platform. Most people still refer to it as Twitter (or Xitter), and I doubt Elon would sell even though he hates it when people use that name. I think he'd be highly suspicious of Dorsey's motives, and would refuse the offer.  
 His point is accurate-

But Nostr has "notes" which should very much replace the corporate-branded "tweet." 

A note can be short or long.

A note can have images or not.

A note is brand-less.

Keeping "tweets" alive is just suggesting that a company was better at giving a pet name to notes.

Notes don't need branded pet names.

Notes are eternal. 
 But the "tweet" did not come from Twitter itself. One of the clients started using it. I don't remember which one. Twitter appropriated it later when it became popular 
 I suppose the added benefit of re-approriating tweets is that this would be TOSTR 🍞😂 
 I love it 
 Hank should buy the Twitter brand... 
 Hank is a soyboy and should come to Nostr
