History and Ownership

Twitter was founded in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams. The platform became one of the world's most influential social networks, known for its role in breaking news and public discourse. In October 2022, Elon Musk acquired the company for approximately $44 billion. In July 2023, the platform was rebranded from Twitter to X, with the company now operating as X Corp. The rebrand reflected Musk's vision of transforming the platform into an "everything app" offering expanded services beyond social networking.

Developer Access

X provides API access for developers across multiple tiers (Free, Basic, Pro, and Enterprise), enabling programmatic access to posts, user data, direct messages, and platform analytics for building integrations and applications.
