Twitter Inc. Merges into X Corp: What It Means for Loomer Lawsuit

On April 11th, according to a court document disclosed by foreign media, Twitter Inc. recently revealed a significant development. The company is currently being sued by right-wing provocation Laura Loomer, who accused the company of violating federal extortion laws when blocking her account in 2019. But before that, Twitter, as the defendant, must continue to submit a company disclosure statement to the court. Therefore, in the recently submitted documents, the company issued a notice stating that “Twitter, Inc. has merged into X Corp. and no longer exists.” As the “successor in interest” of Twitter Inc., the merged X Corp. is now the defendant in the Loomer lawsuit. Its parent company has been identified as X Holdings Corp. In addition, Twitter CEO Musk posted a tweet titled “X” at 15:03 today.

Twitter has now been incorporated into a new entity called X Corp

On April 11th, foreign media outlets released a court document revealing that Twitter Inc. is being sued by right-wing provocation Laura Loomer for allegedly violating federal extortion laws when her account was blocked in 2019. However, Twitter’s recent company disclosure statement submitted to the court suggests a significant development. The statement announces that “Twitter, Inc. has merged into X Corp. and no longer exists,” with the merged X Corp. being the defendant in the Loomer lawsuit. This article explores the implications of Twitter’s merger with X Corp. for the Loomer lawsuit.

What Is X Corp. and X Holdings Corp.?

Before delving into the Loomer lawsuit, we need to understand who X Corp. and X Holdings Corp. are. Unfortunately, the court documents do not provide much detail. However, we can safely assume that X Corp. is a new entity created from the merger of Twitter Inc. into another company, possibly X Holdings Corp. According to the court documents, X Holdings Corp. is the parent company of the merged X Corp. Twitter CEO Elon Musk also tweeted “X” at 15:03 on April 11th, further hinting at the possibility of his involvement in the merger.

What Does the Merger Mean for the Loomer Lawsuit?

Twitter’s merger with X Corp. means that the latter is now the defendant in the Loomer lawsuit. As the successor in interest of Twitter Inc., X Corp. assumes all its legal liabilities, including the Loomer lawsuit. However, it’s unclear if Loomer’s lawyer will pursue X Corp. the same way she is pursuing Twitter Inc. Nevertheless, the merger could affect the lawsuit in several ways.
Firstly, X Corp. could argue that it’s not responsible for the actions of the previous Twitter Inc. management that Loomer is suing. The company might claim that the merger fundamentally changed its nature, ownership, and management structure, making it difficult to link it to the alleged infringement of Loomer’s rights. However, this defense is unlikely to hold as Loomer’s case is based on the Twitter platform’s policies and practices that allegedly violate federal laws. These practices may still be relevant post-merger.
Secondly, the merger could delay or even derail the Loomer lawsuit. The lawsuit against Twitter Inc. is still in its early stages, with Loomer’s lawyers reviewing Twitter’s financial records, social media influencers’ private DMs, and other documents related to the platform’s moderation policies. The merger could make it difficult for Loomer’s lawyers to obtain relevant documents as they might now be under X Corp.’s control. Furthermore, X Corp. could delay the litigation process by challenging Loomer’s standing to sue or arguing that the case should be dismissed due to the change in defendant.

Conclusion

Twitter Inc. merging into X Corp. raises more questions than answers regarding the Loomer lawsuit. While it’s unclear what X Corp. is, we know that it’s now the defendant in the lawsuit, inheriting Twitter Inc.’s legal liabilities. The merger could complicate the litigation process, delay discovery efforts, and potentially alter the course of the case. Nevertheless, Loomer’s lawyers are unlikely to abandon the case or agree to a settlement without a fight. Only time will tell how the merger will affect the Loomer lawsuit and Twitter’s legal troubles in general.
