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.

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.]] 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]

These need to be merged for the following reasons:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
