The value of "X" has been repeatedly downgraded. It's estimated at around $15b by fidelity. They've demolished their own brand by renaming themselves and how you interact.

This is before you get into the whole "twitter has been loaded with debt from the purchase of twitter and so is even more unprofitable than it was before" part of the debacle.
