Twitter/X, which entered a turbulent period after its acquisition by Elon Musk, is no longer worth even a quarter of its former value.

Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter was one of the most talked about events in the technology world for a long time. Almost two and a half years have passed since this sensational agreement and a lot has changed during this time. As the Twitter name faded into history, it was replaced by an X. Most of the users who initially moved to other platforms as a reaction to Elon Musk also returned. Today, X is more crowded and active than ever. However, the problem is that this situation is not financially rewarded. On the contrary, in the two and a half years that have passed, the value of X has melted away.

Blue Chip Growth Fund, one of the important investment funds in the USA, updated the values ​​of the securities in its portfolio this week. In its previous report, the investment fund determined the value of its investment in X as 19.66 million dollars, but today the value of the same shares is 4.19 million dollars. calculated. This means a decrease of 78.7 percent. So what does this mean for Elon Musk and X?

This evaluation by Blue Chip Growth Fund reveals how much Wall Street investors accept the true value of X. This means that Twitter, whose market value was 44 billion dollars before Elon Musk bought it, is only worth 9.4 billion dollars today. Known as one of today’s most important entrepreneurs, Musk caused a $44 billion company to lose $35 billion in value in just two and a half years.

Of course, it should be noted that Musk did not do this as a commercial venture. Musk, who sees himself as one of the saviors of Western civilization on issues such as freedom of expression, also took Twitter as part of this ideological stance. That’s why Musk’s priority was not to preserve the value of the company. However, it must be said that the result does not look good for Musk.
