Elon Musk was just forced to reveal who owns X. Here's the list

Organizations linked to Bill Ackman, Larry Ellison, and Sean Combs (a.k.a. Diddy) were mentioned in the filing.

Previously, X has argued that its investors were confidential as a matter of “routine practice and policy,” but this week, a federal judge in California ruled to unseal the list of the site’s owners. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because of its link to Pershing Square Holdings, founded by billionaire investor Bill Ackman 20 years ago. According to the filing, the pair are named as individual investors in X but also have a stake in the business they lead, the wealth and investment management firm Gerber Kawasaki.
