xAIとの統合はX再建に向けた取り組みを締めくくった 1月、米金融大手モルガン・スタンレーのニューヨーク・オフィスに投資家の一団が集まり、ソーシャルメディア企業X（旧ツイッター）の売り込みを聞いていた。彼らはかつてウォール街が敬遠した債権を手に入れようと躍起になっていた。このイベントでは携帯電話の使用が禁止され、Xのリンダ・ヤッカリーノ最高経営責任者（CEO）らが短い発言を終えて退席するまで、聴衆は着席し続けるよう指示された。質問は受け付けられなかった。 銀行は30億ドル（約4360億円）相当の債権を額面1ドル当たり95セントで売る予定だったが、結局100億ドル以上をもっと高い価格で売ることになった。これは、Xのオーナーであるイーロン・マスク氏がドナルド・トランプ大統領と親密なことも大きく働いて、Xが広告主を呼び戻す能力があることを証明するものだった。Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Armistice Capital delivered good returns to investors over 12+ years. What it hasn’t delivered lately is much $$ to clients who wanted out (they got IOUs instead). How one hedge fund's big bet on thinly-traded assets is causing headaches: https://t.co/dgVMvERatH
