Fidelity marks down X valuation by 71.5%::Asset manager Fidelity has marked down its investment in Musk-owned X by 71.5% from the original valuation of shares.

71.5% so far
I mean this is just ridiculous. He bough twitter for twice what it was actually worth fmv. He’s since gutted it infrastructural and culturally.
If it went public today under his leadership, there is no way it would be worth even 5% of its prior value.
He bought it with the specific intent of using it to measurably impact the election we’re having in 10 months.
And for 44 billion, so he basically got screwed out of a small fortune to ruin it for someone else. It would have been cheaper and as effective to distort the election to keep running it the way it was.
“small”
I know this and have repeated it elsewhere. In this particular sense, it does have the value he paid.
Yep.
By design. Which is a good thing for the rest of the world. Twitter has been a cesspool from the start.
When can we expect a lawsuit against Fidelity for saying bad things about “X” and how Musky destroyed it?

As a Fidelity customer who uses their index funds, I would like to know which managers approved this fuckup on their part so I know who to blame when I move to Vanguard over the course of the year. Morningstar needs to take a mallet to their ratings over this.
It’s not their play money they fucked with – ITS MINE.
That’s not how fund managers work. They make money they charge you. They lose money they charge you. They don’t make money they charge you. Oh and then there’s the standing charge for the service. YOLO.
Why would this even impact you if you’re using their index funds? Twitter isn’t even public so it can’t be in any index
In their defence, it was a relatively small investment of only $19m. I guess the story is that this must be an indication of how other, larger, investors might also be looking at X.
Oh no, Anyway.
This is not about Technology.
Shit’s near worthless.
I only have two words. Womp womp
