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, which helped Musk acquire the social network formerly known as Twitter, now values its stake in X at approximately $4.19 million, based on newly released disclosures from Fidelity’s Blue Chip Growth Fund. The fund has reduced the value of its holding in X by a total of 78.7% as of August end.

        You know I might be turned around on him. Yeah hes a piece of shit intent wise but we we need to actually look what someone has accomplished. Wealth disparity is one of of the biggest problems of modern time and here he has gone and evaporated over 35 billion from the high end. He might be the greatest hero of the common man in our time. /s

          Pretty sure the states could refuse to have him on the ballot, which would fuck over his ability to do jack shit. Also never underestimate American xenophobia, the fact he is South African would probably be enough to get him deported if it went to say a jury.
