“Fidelity is currently valuing X at about $9.4 billion”

I found this funny.

        “Y’all my current portfolio is worth 9 BILLION dollars!” “Ah sick, seems to be going pretty well for you.” “Yeah, I’m down 75%”

        “Still worth billions tho” is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard on this platform and that’s saying a lot.

          I’d cheer on if Elon Musk becomes a pauper. $9 billion is still worth a lot. It’s still, as the article says, billions.

          look even 1 billion is more than enough to live on for a lifetime and then quite a bit left over, so that is not really that dumb

            While you are correct, that’s not the point of this article. It’s about how X lost value. Elon isn’t homeless, so yeah it’s still worth a lot of money.
