A federal judge has mandated the unsealing of the list of investors in Elon Musk's X Corp, previously known as Twitter, by September 4, 2024. This decision follows a motion by journalist Jacob Silverman and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and was filed with the Northern District of California (NDCAL). The unsealed list reveals nearly 100 investors, including notable names such as venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (@a16z), a Saudi prince through Kingdom Holding Company, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, Italy-based UnipolSai S.P.A., and 8VC. The disclosure provides insight into the financial backing behind Musk's $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform.
