Elon Musk’s X reveals investors in court filing


A judge ordered Elon Musk’s X to reveal its shareholders, showing who helped with his $44 billion purchase of the social media platform formerly called Twitter.

X originally filed the list of investors under seal as part of a lawsuit brought in 2023 by former Twitter employees who alleged that the entrepreneur violated their arbitration agreements by failing to pay them certain fees after he bought the company. Attorneys for the nonprofit Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press filed a motion in July asking the court to unseal the records, on behalf of independent technology journalist Jacob Silverman.
