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
