Elon Musk's X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price, according to a new estimate from investor Fidelity. The asset manager, Elon Musk's X is now valued at less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price, according to Fidelity.
“Fidelity is currently valuing X at about $9.4 billion”
The value of Twitter when he bought it was $44 billion. We know this because his dumb ass bought it for $44 billion.
Regardless of what a sane person would pay for it, that was the value to him and so if the next highest valuation is $9b he lost $35b of value by overpaying.
You do raise a good point though. Twitter used to be valued at $9b when its value was speculative and the company was growing, now that we know it’s shit and getting worse it’s almost certainly worth less than that too.
I guess my point is that it isn’t worth an article in mid 2024 because it really only repeats what has been said a million times a about the subject. Even before it was bought. No one else would’ve paid much more than $9 Billion at any point because it is legitimately insane.
