X's Value Plummets 71.5% Since Musk's Purchase

Fidelity Marks Down its Investment Amid Controversies and Advertiser Departures

  • Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, now known as X, has seen a significant drop in value, with Fidelity marking down its investment by 71.5%.
  • Musk's controversial actions, including reinstating suspended accounts and endorsing an antisemitic post, have been cited as contributing factors to the platform's decline.
  • Major advertisers such as Walmart, IBM, and NBCUniversal have left the platform due to concerns about hate speech.
  • Fidelity's latest valuation puts X's worth at just $12.5 billion, a steep drop from the $44 billion Musk paid for it.
  • Despite Musk's and Linda Yaccarino's claims of turning the company around, the financial situation appears to remain dire.
