Is Renting Your X Header Allowed? ToS and FTC Rules

X's Terms of Service bar selling or transferring the account itself. They do not, by themselves, bar a creator from placing a paid image on a header they still control. Advertising law still applies.

What X actually forbids

The ToS treat the account as non-transferable and let X show its own ads. That is different from a creator updating their own header after a private booking. Competitors that verify placements via the X API operate on that distinction. We do not take over accounts.

FTC disclosure

The FTC Endorsement Guides say a material connection must be clear and conspicuous. Staff Q&A is explicit that a profile badge alone is insufficient because many viewers never see it. If the header endorses a product, put “Ad” or “Paid” in the graphic. Sponsored tweets need the in-composer paid-partnership label plus in-content language.
