- 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.

- 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.
