The court document, which surfaced on social media, showed that Twitter had merged with X Corp. “Twitter Inc. no longer exists after merging with X Corp. The paper stated, “X Corp. is a privately held corporation with its major place of business in San Francisco, California, and was formed in Nevada. March 15 marked the day of the merger. In addition, Elon Musk owns the domain for X.com, a business he started that he later merged with PayPal.

The deal may be seen as a step towards Musk’s goals of creating an “everything app” akin to WeChat in China. Many employees were let go by Musk, who paid $44 billion to buy the business last year. The court document is a response to a lawsuit that Laura Loomer filed in 2019. As a result of claimed violations of her free expression rights, Loomer launched a lawsuit against Twitter and its former CEO Jack Dorsey.
When he bought Twitter in October 2022, Musk made it clear that the social media network will aid in the creation of X, the all-encompassing app. It’s unclear if Tesla and Space X would eventually join X Corp.
