Users react as Elon Musk declares himself Chief Troll Officer; Fidelity marks down investment

Elon Musk has changed the name of his online profile on X to “Chief Troll Officer” and the location to “Trollheim.” Global investment company Fidelity has also marked down its investment in X Holdings by 71.5 percent.

With the “Trollheim” location and the “Chief Troll Officer” Bio update, Elon Musk amuses the internet audience.

Elon Musk, the billionaire tech investor who founded SpaceX and Tesla, changed his X (formerly Twitter) profile in a humorous manner. He has since adopted the moniker “CTO,” which he wryly describes as the “Chief Troll Officer.” Even his location was altered to “Trollheim.”

He previously made similar posts in October 2022 after clinching a $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter, referring to himself as the “Chief Twit” and then as the “Twitter complaint hotline operator.” This is not the first time he has made such amusing updates.

Musk is well-known for his trolling behavior and snarky remarks on social media, where his messages frequently garner a lot of attention. More than 56,000 people liked and over 11.2 million people viewed his most recent announcement.

Musk’s whimsical moniker elicited humorous responses from platform users. One user inquired about the availability of the fictitious role of “Chief Meme Officer” (CMO). A different user proposed that Musk pretend to be on “Memes Street,” while he waits for Google Earth to catch up.

In a related development, the international investment firm Fidelity reduced its investment in X Holdings, the parent company of Elon Musk’s X Corp, by a significant 71.5 percent. When Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in October 2022, Fidelity initially put $300 million into X Corp. This comes after X Corp’s valuation was significantly reevaluated in October of last year, when it was slashed by 65%.

In summary, Fidelity has made a significant adjustment to its investment valuation in Elon Musk’s X Holdings, while the latter’s most recent online antics remain entertaining and garner attention.

Conclusion

Elon Musk, who formerly went by the amusing titles “CTO” and “Chief Troll Officer,” has changed his online persona on X, a platform that was originally Twitter. Over 11.2 million people have viewed the update, and 56,000 people have liked it. Numerous people have taken an interest in Musk’s made-up character and proposed moving him to “Memes Street.” Global investment company Fidelity has lowered its investment in X Holdings by 71.5%, indicating a substantial reevaluation of X Corp’s worth. Musk’s pranks on the internet never cease to entertain and draw attention.
