> Mark Lemley, a Stanford Law professor and expert in trademark law, told Ars that X might be able to defend the Twitter marks if it can show that it is still using them.

Tens of millions of times per day twitter.com addresses get redirected to x.com. Is that not evidence that the Twitter trademark is still in use by X, such that twitter.new may cause confusion or dilution?

Hacker News seems to strengthen that argument when it converts x.com domains to twitter.com. But Musk calls that deadnaming, which seems like an announcement of abandonment.
