X, formerly Twitter, is reportedly offering staffers a stock compensation plan that values the social media platform at $19 billion, or $45 a share, reports The Verge. The assessment represents a 55% drop in the company’s market value since CEO Elon Musk bought the social media company in an all-cash deal last year. The SpaceX founder paid $44 billion in October 2022 for Twitter, or $54.20 per share, which was nearly 40% higher than the company’s stock price. In July, Musk wrote that X was “still negative cash flow, due to ~50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load,” but did not provide any additional context.
