X moves to secure $44bn funding from investors to assuage platform’s challenges

Social media giant, X (formerly known as Twitter), owned by Elon Musk is moving to secure the sum $44 billion in funding to assuage the platform’s challenges, particularly in maintaining advertiser support.

Reports say that the popular social media platform is negotiating to secure funding from investors due to the fact that Fidelity Investments significantly reduced its valuation of Twitter by about 70% in December.
