Quick Glance: X's Value Plummets Since Musk's Acquisition

X, formerly Twitter, is now valued at approximately $9.4 billion, reflecting a nearly 80 percent drop since Elon Musk's acquisition.

Musk purchased the platform for $44 billion in October 2022, and Fidelity reports the current value based on declining ad revenues.

A survey indicates that 26 percent of marketers intend to cut their spending on X next year, even as the platform maintains 570 million active users but sees decreasing mobile engagement.

Some experts, like Gene Munster, argue that Fidelity's estimates are too pessimistic, suggesting that X's data will be valuable in the long run, particularly for Musk's AI chatbot Grok.

Donald Trump continues to claim without evidence that the 2020 election was stolen, now warning of rigging in the 2024 election.

His campaign has cited numerous activities as election interference, yet provided no concrete evidence of fraud or illegal manipulation.

Quick Glance: The Illusion of Policy Support for Trump

The 2024 presidential election is characterized by deep polarization, particularly regarding Donald Trump.

Trump's campaign is misleadingly presented as policy-focused, despite a lack of concrete proposals and reliance on general themes.
