About Twitter, Inc.
Twitter, Inc. ran Twitter, the social network built around short public posts called tweets. Users followed other accounts to get a live feed of news, opinion and conversation, and the service became a primary channel for journalists, politicians, public agencies, companies and celebrities. Posts were limited to 140 characters until late 2017, when the limit was raised to 280.
The service started in March 2006 as a side project at the podcasting startup Odeo, created by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone and Evan Williams. Twitter, Inc. became a separate company in 2007 and was based in San Francisco, California.
Nearly all of the company’s revenue came from advertising. Promoted tweets, promoted accounts and video ads let brands reach users based on their interests and the accounts they followed. A smaller share came from data licensing: developers and businesses paid for access to the stream of public tweets through the Twitter API. In 2021 Twitter added creator tools such as Tips, Super Follows and Ticketed Spaces, and launched the Twitter Blue subscription.
Twitter went public on the New York Stock Exchange in November 2013. The IPO was priced at $26 a share, raised about $1.8 billion, and the stock closed its first day at $44.90. The company didn’t report a full-year profit until 2018. Jack Dorsey returned as chief executive in 2015 and stepped down in November 2021, when chief technology officer Parag Agrawal took over.
Elon Musk disclosed a 9.2% stake in April 2022 and soon offered to buy the whole company for $54.20 a share. The board accepted the roughly $44 billion offer on April 25, 2022. Musk tried to walk away from the deal in July, and Twitter sued him in the Delaware Court of Chancery to complete it. In early October he agreed to close at the original price.
The acquisition closed on October 27, 2022, and Twitter became a privately held company owned by Musk. Trading in TWTR was suspended the next morning, and the listing was formally removed on November 8, 2022. Twitter was later merged into X Corp. and renamed X in July 2023. In March 2025 X Corp. was combined with Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI.
