X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is now worth an estimated 71.5% less than it was when Elon Musk purchased the platform in Oct. 2022, according to a Fidelity securities filing dated Dec. 30, 2023.
The asset management firm, which owns an equity stake in the company under X Holdings Corp., previously slashed X's valuation to a third of Musk's $44 billion purchase price in May of last year.
The new valuation from Fidelity's Blue Chip Growth Fund, which reported data through Nov. 30, 2023, estimates that its shares of X are worth $5.3 million — down from an estimated $6.3 million in October and far from the $19.66 million valuation of its stake just prior to Musk's takeover.

The president of El Salvador is refuting allegations made by Kilmar Abrego Garcia - the man whose mistaken deportation by the Trump administration has fueled a monthslong legal saga – in which he said he was beaten and subject to psychological torture while in prison in the Central American country.

Washington — President Trump is bringing pomp and circumstance to his signing of the "big, beautiful bill" on Friday, with a 4 p.m. Independence Day ceremony at the White House. The current $2,000 child tax credit, which would return to a pre-2017 level of $1,000 in 2026, will permanently increase to $2,200. The bill would allow many tipped workers to deduct up to $25,000 of their tips and overtime from their taxes. That provision expires in 2028. The bill would make changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps, expanding work requirements and requiring state governments with higher payment error rates to cover some of the program's costs. The legislation also includes more than $46.5 billion for border wall construction and related expenses, $45 billion to expand detention capacity for immigrants in custody and about $30 billion in funding for hiring, training and other resources for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The legislation would raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, going beyond the $4 trillion outlined in the initial House-passed bill. Congress faces a deadline to address the debt limit later this summer.
