You know, our main investment was with Fox, frankly speaking. Yes. With Mr. Murdoch. Murdoch was always, you know, mainstream to the right a little bit, obviously. So we did have a lot of other investments, small ones, but they were all devastated a long time ago. Yeah. But our main investment in all media, legacy media, was with Mr. Murdoch.
And we sold out, you know, a year before he merged his entities with Disney. Disney. Yes. So no, left, in the media, in America, went too much to the left. And most of them. The only remaining soldier, frankly speaking, who really withstood the heat is the Murdoch Empire. Whether it's Fox, New York Post, Wall Street Journal, and Fox. They are all, you know, center of the right.

Most of our investments now went to X and XAI. Obviously, with Musk. Now, you know, I call XLA as the new media, frankly speaking. X. That's why we invested. And with Mr. Musk, I think, you know, he's a big force to be reckoned with, frankly speaking. And we are second biggest shareholder in X and XAI.

Yeah, on our books, we have two investments. We have Kingdom Holding, which I share. Yes. And I have my private investments. So we have with Musk around $3 billion. Yes. In our books, it's valued more than 50% more. Clearly, as for X, we never devalued it. Some entities did devalue it by 30%, 40%, 50%. We never devalued it.

Clearly, now after the election of President Trump and after the strong alliance between Musk and President Trump, we've seen the market having... revalue upwards extremistically, at least to its part value at the $44 billion that they paid for it. What do you think its actual value is? I believe the actual value is more than double, frankly speaking. More than double the 44 he paid. Exactly.

And it's going to happen right now because videos are going to come. And, you know, now pay is going to come into it. You know, they're going to pay X. It's going to happen right now in the first quarter. So many things are going to happen to X to have as the main hub and anchor for many things around it.

As it stands today, I believe X is really number one. We've seen how Meta tried to have another company, Thread, but it didn't take off. Why? Look, I think X really began very forcefully and strongly. And the freedom of speech was there, was open, you know. Clearly, whenever it was against X, freedom of speech and freedom of expression without much fact-checking,

That gave it the forum to be the anchor of the new media in the world. And you see right now, Meta is moving the X model. As I told you when I just met you off the record a minute ago, that Meta now is being exercised. It's being like X right now. And this helps X reaching its potential of being fully valued at $44 billion and more.
