Read our privacy policy Elon Musk’s X is now valued at about $19bn or less than half of what he paid for the social media company, according to a new report. Mr Musk’s reign has been marred by mass lay-offs, the chaotic rollout of a number of new features, including the site’s verification process, and the reinstatement of previously suspended high-profile accounts. In July, Mr Musk shared that X is “still negative cash flow” with a “50 per cent drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load”. Banks involved in financing Mr Musk’s deal to buy Twitter are also reportedly struggling to mitigate the impact of the platform’s decline in value on their balance sheets.
