I just checked twitter.now and on the front page it says
"We’re down. We’re on it.
Already learning things the hard way.
We will be back as soon as we can.
Love you guys"
and at the bottom of the front page it says
"Twitter is a reclaimed brand — Not affiliated with X Corp."

"Operation Bluebird opened Twitter.now to early access on August 26, 2026, two days after the company confirmed it would not wait for a federal court ruling in its trademark dispute with X Corp. The platform looks and behaves like the pre-Musk Twitter: a timeline format, replies, and retweet mechanics. An early-access fee of $20 (for "Founding Member" status) and $40 or more for "Fighter" status gates entry for now, with the company saying the fees fund its legal campaign against X Corp. The platform attracted hundreds of users in its opening days, though the site experienced intermittent downtime as of Thursday.
The legal backdrop is the subject of prior TechTimes reporting. In brief: Operation Bluebird argues that X Corp. legally abandoned the Twitter trademark when Musk rebranded the platform to X in July 2023. Under the Lanham Act, three consecutive years of nonuse create a rebuttable presumption of abandonment, and that three-year clock elapsed in July 2026. X Corp. disputes this, arguing that a rebrand does not constitute abandonment. No written court order has been issued. The legal fight — both at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and in Delaware federal court — remains unresolved."
