Quick Glance: 72% Loss Since Musk's Twitter Acquisition
  • Fidelity devalues X stake by 72% since Musk's $44 billion payment.

  • Monthly report lists the value of X Holdings Corp. stake as $5.6 million on November 30, 2023.

  • It's unclear if Fidelity sold parts of its stake in November, but the recent loss isn't surprising given the Musk-related controversies.

  • Based on the $44 billion Musk paid for Twitter over a year ago, Fidelity's devaluation would estimate the company to be worth about $12.5 billion.

Quick Glance: Musk Secretly Used Starlink to Thwart Ukrainian Drone Attack on Russian Ships: Report
  • Elon Musk secretly instructed SpaceX engineers to disable the Starlink satellite communications network off the coast of occupied Crimea to prevent a surprise Ukrainian attack on Russia's naval fleet, according to a report.

  • The incident from last year is detailed in Walter Isaacson's upcoming biography of the billionaire titled Elon Musk.

  • Musk was reportedly driven to foil the attack due to concerns that an assault on Crimea would be a 'mini-Pearl Harbor' and could provoke Russia to retaliate with nuclear weapons.

  • The SpaceX CEO apparently began to question his decision to support the use of Starlink for Kyiv's military communications when Ukraine started utilizing the technology for offensive operations against Russia.
