Other investors named include Bill Ackman, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, and Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud. A court filing has revealed that Diddy is among almost 100 entities that invested in Elon Musk’s controversial buyout of Twitter, which he has since renamed X. As first reported by The Washington Post, a federal judge ordered Musk’s company to reveal the list of shareholders in the company, which he purchased in October 2022 for $44 billion. Diddy’s ‘Sean Combs Capital, LLC’ is among the list of shareholders, which also includes Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al Saud, and billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. (…) It’s unclear if everyone on the list is still a shareholder or to what extent they have involvement with the company in 2024. Musk has made major changes to the social media platform since he took over almost two years ago. He has repeatedly expressed his desire to make X the home of “free speech,” and he notably reinstated Donald Trump’s account after he was banned for his role in invoking the Capitol riot. These days, Musk mostly spends his time responding to racist dog whistles and classic right-wing ragebait.

sieeh auch: One of Elon Musk’s Major Twitter Investors Has Been Accused of Sex Trafficking and Domestic Abuse Could this be Musk’s worst “friend”? (…) As the court filings stemming from reporter and author Jacob Silverman’s unmasking request reveal, Musk’s Twitter takeover was funded by everyone from Saudi prince and Harvard investor Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud to Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey to — perhaps most bizarrely — rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, whose involvement in the deal had been rumored by TMZ but never confirmed until now. In recent months, Combs has been in the news for being accused of a slew of serious crimes ranging from sex trafficking and domestic abuse to being involved in the conspiracy to murder Tupac Shakur. Though he’d been the subject of whisper network accusations and headline-grabbing violent altercations for years prior, the world was first made aware in stunning detail of the rapper’s alleged abusive proclivities last fall, when his ex-girlfriend and fellow musician Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against him claiming he’d physically and sexually assaulted her.
