Company names get recycled all the time. People have short memories.
I wouldn't recycle the Twitter account but the domain, for sure, if it is generic enough.
https://www.fountain.com/ today is an HR company. Yesterday, it was an advice marketplace: https://techcrunch.com/2015/10/29/porch-acquires-mobile-expe.... And so on.
At the first glance I thought you meant starting a different service called Twitter.
I don't know if the irony was intentional, but X.com is a recycled Musk IP and also a generic domain name!
