Mutual fund Fidelity, which owns stake in social media platform, marks down value of its shares in disclosure obtained by Axios

The social media platform X has lost 71% of its value since it was bought by Elon Musk, according to the mutual fund Fidelity.

Fidelity, which owns a stake in X Holdings, said in a disclosure obtained by Axios that it had marked down the value of its shares by 71.5% since Musk’s purchase.

Musk acquired Twitter for $44bn in October 2022 and renamed the platform X in July 2023. Fidelity’s estimate would place the value of X at about $12.5bn.

The number of monthly users of X dropped by 15% in the first year since Musk’s takeover amid concerns over a rise in hate speech on the platform.

    It really would be hilarious if I didn’t know where all the money could’ve gone to actually benefit humanity.

    True. Societies really shouldn’t allow billionaires at all as long as there are people who struggle to put food on the table.
