Doja Cat begs Elon Musk to let her change Christmas \u201cmistake\u201d on Twitter YouTube: Verified\/PewDiePieMusic star Doja Cat has been begging Elon Musk to let her change her name on Twitter from Christmas after the platform changed its rules around name changes for verified accounts. At the end of October, Elon Musk finally closed his massive deal to take ownership of Twitter, shelling out a reported $44 billion for the social media platform. The Tesla CEO has set about making some pretty big changes to Twitter since the takeover, including the introduction of verification for Twitter Blue accounts. Anyone who shells out the $8 per month for the premium plan will get a verification tick. However, you cannot change your display name if you do so. That\u2019s a change from previous rules where you could change your display name, but you couldn\u2019t change your actual Twitter handle or you\u2019d lose the tick. Doja Cat is stuck as Christmas on Twitter after rule change Well, Doja Cat has fallen foul of the new rules after she recently changed her name to Christmas in order to get into the holiday spirit. \u201cWhy can\u2019t I change my name on here,\u201d the singer-songwriter asked on November 9. \u201cHow do I change it, also f**k you Elon.\u201d She went a step further shortly after, tagging Musk in another tweet. \u201cI don\u2019t wanna be Christmas forever @elonmusk. Please help, I\u2019ve made a mistake,\u201d Doja added. That got her on Musk\u2019s radar as he offered up a reply shortly after. \u201cWorking on it!\u201d he said, before adding: \u201cPretty funny though.\u201d Doja also took some shots at people who have already signed up for Twitter Blue, questioning why they\u2019re paying $8 a month to post what they do. Seeing as Musk has already reverted a few changes \u2013 most notably the new \u2018official\u2019 tag he\u2019d rolled out for pre-existing verified accounts \u2013 he could change the new rules on display names. The South African business magnate has admitted Twitter will make its air share of mistakes with changes, so we\u2019ll just have to wait and see what he has planned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
