After experiencing a turbulent period of user loss and advertiser withdrawal, the prospects for social media company X seem to be brightening.According to Bloomberg, X is currently in negotiations for a new round of financing with investors, with a valuation of up to $44 billion, which is the price Musk paid to acquire the company in 2022.Investors include well-known institutions such as Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and the Qatar Investment Authority. The report cites informed sources indicating that negotiations are still ongoing, details may change, and the company may also abandon the financing plan. Notably, this is the first time X has sought external investment since Musk privatized Twitter.Interpretations of X's financing prospects vary. Although many users and advertisers chose to leave after Musk took over, the company's valuation remains at $44 billion, reflecting market expectations for a turnaround in the future.Despite the numerous challenges facing X, Musk's personal political influence seems to be bringing new opportunities to his business empire. Since Trump's election, Tesla's stock price has risen by more than 40%. SpaceX's latest valuation has reached $350 billion, making it the largest tech startup in the world. Additionally, Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI is seeking financing at a valuation of about $75 billion.Some analysts believe that Musk's close relationship with the Trump administration has changed investors' perceptions of X's prospects. Some investors are betting that Musk's political role will help advance his business interests.Previously, Fidelity Investments had written down its investment in X by about 70%, lowering it from the $44 billion transaction price. However, recently Morgan Stanley has been selling $3 billion of X's debt at face value without any discount, indicating a significant rebound in investor demand.Risk Warning and DisclaimerThe market has risks, and investment requires caution.
