It just wasn't worth that much to begin with.

Id like to believe this is bad news for X, but selling $3B out of $40B isn’t a massive sell off.

They’re probably just recouping losses from the last few days of market nosedive

I edited my link to better capture how much twitter is bleeding in terms of valuation, but you had replied in the interim. My bad!

Fair point re: selling the debt.

"fidelity believes"

You seem to have mistakenly put quotation marks around something that the linked article doesn't contain. Please allow me to fill in the correct quotation:

"Fidelity discloses what it believes is the value of its shares of X"

the opposite is "musk says". do you believe Musk over a bank?
