Muse, Meta's newly released AI agent, now uses social media handles once controlled by Muse, the English rock band.

The band trademarked its name in 1999 and used @muse on Instagram and X for years, but fans noticed a change to @museband this summer.

It is not the first Instagram handle to change hands around a major Meta announcement.
