This was reported by the Independent and Ukrinform.
Stock investment fund Fidelity, which owns a stake in X, reduced the valuation of the company, formerly known as Twitter, by 71.5% from Musk’s October 2022 purchase price.
Fidelity was one of several investors financing Elon Musk’s acquisition of the company for $44 billion in October 2022. Shortly thereafter, the value of this investment began to decline, but remained stable at the beginning of 2023.

Therefore, the company owned by Musk may lose up to $75 million in advertising revenue by the end of the year.
