Privately owned, US-headquartered X, also known as Twitter, founded in 2006, employs approximately 7,070 individuals, reported $2.5 billion in revenue as of 2024, and functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company specializes in search, social, and retail media. X operates a social networking service where users can share short text messages, images, and videos in posts, and like or repost/retweet other users' content. Its features include direct messaging, video and audio calling, bookmarks, lists and communities, and Spaces, a social audio feature. Additionally, users can vote on context added by approved users using the Community Notes feature.
Serenity publicly called on X on September 11 to ban online networks that pay users to quote or comment on posts, warning the platform risks becoming dominated by engagement networks for marketing products rather than independent voices. Earlier on September 11, X replaced Stripe with its own "X Money" for US Creator Payouts, a mandatory shift impacting users' rewards, subscription earnings, taxes, and APY rates. On September 10, a report characterized Elon Musk's X as a "live group chat for Silicon Valley's AI obsessives," a shift from Musk's stated goal of a "common digital town square" upon acquiring Twitter four years prior, when it faced competition from new entrants. This followed a September 10 report indicating a Delaware federal judge's preliminary injunction included X Corp.’s "Twitter" trademarks due to a parenthetical, but did not extend to "Tweet" or the bird logo, suggesting potential vulnerabilities in the company’s retired trademark portfolio.
