Musk Love Sidebar[edit]

Why does the sidebar claim "this is part of a series about Elon Musk". Twitter/X exists independently of its current owner. Get rid of the giant list of Musk crap on the side and keep it on topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qrater (talk • contribs) 23:46, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Apple doesn't have a sidebar noting that it's part of a series about Steve Jobs and it's pretty jarring here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.93.78.3 (talk) 19:50, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Twitter is/was a private company?[edit]

The info box says that Twitter is/was a private company. Then the next line lists its publicly traded company stock symbol. I don’t understand.

69.62.188.77 (talk) 19:37, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was a publicly-traded company, under the stock symbol listed, and then it became private when Elon Musk bought it. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 03:50, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be merged with X Corp.[edit]

This article should be merged with [[X Corp.]] since company is technically not defunct, just changed its name since being acquired by Elon Musk. NorthPark1 (talk) 11:38, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose - X Corp. and Twitter, Inc. are two seperate companies with different history. The history of Twitter is too big to fit into one page WiinterU (talk) 21:06, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
wasn't tagged. as such, consider this discussion as having begun 21:27, 13 February 2024 (UTC) ^Queen of _Hearts 21:27, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Different companies; while the Twitter Inc was acquired by X Corp, that doesn't make them the same. X Corp existed before it acquired Twitter (although solely as a holding company to prepare for the merger). Couruu (talk) 15:14, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose — The Twitter company from founding, to going public, to being a public company for years, up to the time of sale and being privately-held is a very diff company from the company X, a privately-held company that is being built out of the IP and network effect of the old Twitter social media platform, but with ~20% of the employees working on it, and with very different policies as a social media and AI (and financial, as claimed by current management) company. N2e (talk) 01:57, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These need to be merged for the following reasons:

Historical context: By merging the two pages, readers can easily access this historical context and understand how the platform has evolved over time. X is a rebranding of Twitter.
Avoiding redundancy: A merged page would help to eliminate any potential content duplication between the two pages, ensuring that the information presented is concise, accurate, and up-to-date.
Future-proofing: As the platform continues to evolve under the X brand, a single, unified page will make it easier to maintain and update the information, ensuring that readers have access to the most current and accurate content.

If you are going to agree with this statement, please fact check your information first. Also, please put the format as "Support" to make it easier for admins to know which comments support or oppose. WiinterU (talk) 23:34, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose — Musk filed A COURT DOCUMENT legally declaring Twitter, Inc. had ceased to exist and that its legal successor would be one of the two X Holdings companies established under the third umbrella X corporation. Unless you want to fight a much bigger fight involving a court of law, the answer is No.

Strong Oppose — I think there should not be a discussion in the first place since Twitter officially stated that it is "owned" by a company named X Corp., and that is the end of the discussion. Moreover, Twitter got re-branded as "X" Hence, I think that the page title should be renamed from Twitter, Inc. to X (Social Network company). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomlovesfar (talk • contribs) 16:43, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
