Fidelity’s Blue Chip Growth Fund cut the value of its position in X by 5.7% in February, implying a 73% decline in the former Twitter Inc. since Elon Musk bought the social-media company.

Fidelity, which gained a stake in X by helping Musk complete his $44 billion purchase in October 2022, valued the position at $5.28 million as of Feb. 29, according to a report posted Saturday listing the fund’s holdings. A month earlier, the value was $5.6 million.

I wonder how Elon feels about his "go fuck yourselves" statement to the advertisers who left now?

He doesn't "feel" any of this except in the ego, and the ego would hurt more if he admitted he was wrong. He can private jet around all day and not run out of money for the rest of his life. Maybe it delays his plans to be able to more fully buy people, but that's not a feeling I'm curious to feel.

So the claim is twitter is now worth 11 billion. LOL More like 11 million. Elon & trump sure know how to kill a business.

73% fucking lol. Shit’s worthless.

There are people out there still claiming that Elon has proven you can run Twitter and similar companies with fewer employees so all tech companies should be laying more people off.

I can't believe that Musky can't make enough money from his blue checkmark simp army. What a shock.
