- A federal judge has mandated Elon Musk’s X to disclose its list of shareholders, revealing key investors in the $44 billion acquisition of the platform formerly known as Twitter.
- The unsealed document lists nearly 100 entities, including prominent venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and a fund linked to Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
- Notable investors include Andreessen Horowitz, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al Saud, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, and 8VC co-founder Joe Lonsdale.
- The court’s decision follows a motion by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, emphasizing public interest in knowing the stakeholders of such an influential platform.
- Despite Musk’s efforts to revitalize X with new features and subscription options, the platform faces financial challenges, with some investors’ stakes significantly devalued.

Elon Musk’s X Ordered to Reveal Investors in Court Filing

Quite confused why the rebranding is taking place. 
Twitter is such a good brand name, everybody gets it, and has positive blue colours too. 

X seems to be something very random. Almost instantly it does not reflect what the product would be. 

It’s great to see that Elon Musk takes audacious bets all the time, but it’s starting to feel like he’s someone who lacks any sense of how user’s think. This could be costly for Twitter as multiple of these changes compound.

Twitter rebranding to 'X', what do you think?

Corporate strategy

Twitter valued at $19Bn in their latest stock offerings to employees. Big loss of value 🤔

Will this fly with the audience or will it change X (Twitter) into another hyper competitive platform just like LinkedIn?

Thoughts on this product from X?
