Elon Musk-Owned Twitter Undergoes An Overhaul
On April 4, a lawyer filed a lawsuit in a California court against Twitter and its former CEO Jack Dorsey. The court documents state that Twitter “no longer exists” and is now called X Corp.
This came right after Elon Musk wrote ‘X‘ on the social media platform, which has sparked speculations around the company. Twitter merged with X, which is a shell company, in March this year.
The lawsuit was filed against Dorsey and Twitter for the alleged violation of the free speech rights of Laura Loomer, a conservative activist. Musk, on the other hand, has been planning an “everything app” like WeChat. Last year, he bought the domain X.com, a company that was his first business venture.
