Give them a call and they can advise you as to which account you should open. I have two accounts - one is a Roth IRA (you invest with post-tax funds but pay no tax on profits after purchase) and a regular trading account.
Since I don't know your financial position, they would be better at helping you decide what to open.
Fidelity. But more than where is which stock to buy. With only $1000, you might consider a growth fund, which would diversity your exposure over many stocks.
A growth fund? I just want to get $1000.00 of twitter stock. You are speaking greek to me, don't understand all the different funds or why I would need them.

Because buying Twitter alone is risky, and it's trading at an extremely expensive P/E (price-to-earnings) ratio of 159.77 compared to, for example, Apple trading at a very reasonable 22.48. P/E ratio, NOT raw share price, is the real measure of the stock's cost. If all of that is Greek to you, you need to consider reading up a bit before taking the plunge.
To save you some time, I just did a bit of research for you and found this:
"Investors should not buy Twitter," said Matthew Tuttle, CEO of Tuttle Capital Management. "If the deal does not go through, which is a big IF when dealing with Elon Musk and all the baggage that comes with him, the downside is pretty huge."
On top of the possibility that the deal fails and the stock price falls to the pre-acquisition price or below, there's also the risk that the approval process drags out longer than expected, which would be a drag on the price.
So have you done any in-depth research into the stock? I didn't think so.
As someone with experience on Wall Street and investing in the market, I urge you to consider Adobe, Apple, and Microsoft (just 3 off the top of my head) as much better values to invest $1000 in. Or you might consider an index fund like SPY, which tracks the S&P 500 index, or one of Fidelity's growth funds that own many different stocks like Amazon, Apple, Google, etc.
If you don't understand any of that, then again, I strongly urge you to read and learn more before committing your money to what may not be a smart investment.

A class might be worthwhile, but you can learn a great deal on your own. Google things like P/E ratio, stock pricing, and stocks vs. mutual funds. There are some excellent free videos on YouTube as well.
