So is 8VC, the VC firm co-founded by Palantir\u2019s Joe Lonsdale, which has reported ties to Russian oligarchs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the listed shareholders were investors in Twitter before Musk\u2019s takeover. For example, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al Saud reportedly rolled over their Twitter shares into stakes in what\u2019s now X.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court filing containing the list of shareholders is dated June 9, 2023, but it was unsealed this week in response to a motion from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press on behalf of independent journalist Jacob Silverman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a blog post publishing the full list of investors, Silverman acknowledged that many of Musk\u2019s backers were already known, and that the list doesn\u2019t include ownership amounts. Still, he said it\u2019s \u201ca great starting point for journalists, researchers, regulators, activists, and anyone else who wants to know what\u2019s going on behind the scenes of this important company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read the full list here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A court order recently forced Elon Musk\u2019s X to reveal its full list of shareholders, as of June 2023, to the public.
