Twitter, Inc. is now X Corp

Twitter, Inc. is now called X Corp, according to a court filing in California.

Since Twitter is no longer a public company, it does not have to report updates like name changes to the SEC. But in any case, the new name was spotted in an April 4 document related to far-right activist Laura Loomer’s lawsuit against Twitter and Facebook.

“Twitter, Inc. has been merged into X Corp. and no longer exists,” the document states.

Elon Musk, who toptechtrends.com/2023/04/11/elon-musks-twitter-everything-you-need-to-know-from-layoffs-to-verification/”>purchased Twitter for $44 billion last year, has aspired to build what he calls “X, the everything app.” This proposed app toptechtrends.com/2022/10/08/elon-musk-x-everything-wechat-tesla-app/”>might look like China’s WeChat, which supports messaging, payments, ride-sharing, food delivery and other services all in one app. Musk has applauded WeChat for its convenience and utility, yet its unique dominance could be toptechtrends.com/2022/10/08/elon-musk-x-everything-wechat-tesla-app/”>impossible to replicate outside of China.

This move could be seen as the next step toward Musk building his super app, but the mogul does not have a great toptechtrends.com/2023/02/16/tesla-recalls-362758-vehicles-over-fsd-beta-software-safety-concerns/”>track record with following through on his plans. Yet the name change is not unprecedented. As CEO of Tesla, Musk has shown that vertical integration is well-loved page in his playbook — just look how many subsidiaries the car company has.

Even if Twitter is now part of the X Corp, the proposed X app seems very far off.
