That’s not true, it absolutely can be a trademark. You might be thinking of copyright - he can’t copyright the current 𝕏 logo.
The rights you’d get from each protection are different and a sensible business probably would want both. Trademark protection would prevent another tech company trading as 𝕏; copyright protection for the logo would let you set terms on how it is used.
Maybe I’d take the first year in prison for a half a million* but ask me again 1 year later, do you want to do a second year? No, I want 600k. Next year, 700k. 44 years? Honey, you can’t afford it.
* I wouldn’t, my number is higher than that.
