The discussions are ongoing, and the final terms could change, the report added.&nbsp;
If the deal goes through, it would be the first major outside investment since Musk's takeover.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">X&#8217;s Financial Moves and the Road to Recovery</h2>
Since Musk took control, has had a tough time holding on to advertisers. According to <a href="https://www.actionsxchangerepository.fidelity.com/ShowDocument/ComplianceEnvelope.htm?_fax=-18%2342%23-61%23-110%23114%2378%23117%2320%23-1%2396%2339%23-62%23-21%2386%23-100%2337%2316%2335%23-68%2391%23-66%2354%23103%23-16%2369%23-30%2358%23-20%2376%23-84%23-11%23-87%2348%23-52%23-21%23-96%23-58%23-33%23-107%23-46%2393%23113%23-112%23127%23-42%23-97%2330%23-58%23-24%23-27%23-119%2394%23-121%23-102%23-69%23-71%23-99%2338%2353%23-51%2361%23-106%23-18%23-43%23-106%23-20%23-31%2385%23-55%235%2388%23-74%2371%23107%23-82%23-3%23-86%23-27%23-57%23-125%2342%23119%2357%23-111%2321%2363%23-99%2317%23-28%2320%23-38%23-101%23113%2380%23-77%23-4%23">Fidelity Investments</a>, the company's valuation dropped nearly 72% by October, largely because of concerns over content moderation and brand safety. Advertising revenue took a hit, and many major brands pulled their spending. But now, there are signs of a comeback.

In December, as mentioned by Bloomberg, Musk's aerospace company, SpaceX, reached a valuation of $350 billion, cementing its status as the most valuable private tech firm.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, his artificial intelligence startup, xAI, secured $6 billion in funding at a $50 billion valuation and could soon see that number climb to $75 billion. X holds a 10% stake in xAI, which ties its future to the fast-growing AI sector.
To add value, X has integrated xAI's Grok 3 AI model into its platform. As claimed by the company, <a href="https://x.com/grok/status/1891793693020991658">Grok 3 outperforms </a>AI systems from Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>, GOOGL)), OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek. Following its release, X raised the price of its Premium+ subscription to nearly $50 a month as part of a push to generate more revenue outside of advertising.

Still, ad revenue hasn't fully bounced back. In line with industry reports, X's U.S. ad sales were down 28% year-over-year in 2024. However, some brands are returning. CEO Linda Yaccarino <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R9LtHiZ74w">said in early January</a> that 90% of advertisers who had previously left have resumed spending on the platform.
X has appeared to be pressuring advertising giant Interpublic Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IPG#NYSE">IPG</a>) to increase client spending on the platform, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/x-hinted-at-possible-deal-trouble-in-talks-with-ad-giant-to-increase-spending-feb122a6">according to The Wall Street Journal</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Interpublic leadership saw a phone call from an attorney from X as a threat that its planned $13 billion merger with Omnicom Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OMC#NYSE">OMC</a>) could be slowed down or blocked by the incoming Trump administration due to Musk's expected role in the government, The Journal reported.&nbsp;
Musk also is dealing with legal troubles. The Securities and Exchange Commission on Jan. 14 <a href="https://www.sec.gov/enforcement-litigation/litigation-releases/lr-26219">announced a lawsuit</a> against Musk for allegedly not timely disclosing he purchased more than 5% of Twitter's common stock in March 2022. The regulator said the lack of timely disclosure allowed Musk to save $150 million on the deal.&nbsp;
