Sophie Rain has plenty to be grateful for this Thanksgiving, especially her million-dollar net worth. The OnlyFans creator recently revealed her unprecedented earnings on X, showcasing how lucrative the platform has been for her. While her explicit content is primarily to thank for her income, Sophie believes Elon Musk played a key role.
On Thursday, November 28, the 20-year-old media personality celebrated Thanksgiving with a screenshot of her incredible achievement. The chart showed she earned $43.4 million in the past year through subscriptions, tips, posts, and messages. Sophie expressed her gratitude in the post’s caption, writing, “Thankful for one year on here.” The social media influencer penned her love to the billionaire entrepreneur in a separate tweet, raving:
“Thank you @elonmusk for this extremely lucrative platform I can post on every day [Blue heart emoji].”
Sophie’s excitement continued as she showcased one of the ways she earned the astonishing income in a third post. The explicit content creator shared a sizzling image of herself in a black halter-neck dress. The outfit featured waist-high slits that flaunted Sophie’s voluptuous figure and exposed plenty of skin to tempt viewers.
She teased fans in the caption, asking if they wanted her or the $43 million she made. Her thirst trap sparked mixed reactions from fans, with some asking for the money while others wanted Sophie. A third group asked for both, with one X user claiming, “Without money, life is dull, and without you, life is also dull. That’s why both.”
Did Elon Musk Make a Bad Call Buying X?
While Sophie had $43 million reasons to be grateful to Musk for owning X, financial experts begged to differ. Last month, Fidelity, an investment giant, estimated that the platform was worth 80% less than when Musk bought it. The billionaire spent $44 billion in October 2022 to make X private, halting all public trades.
Fidelity claimed this move caused a staggering decline in X shares, placing the platform’s value at $9.4 billion. Some analysts believed the investment company’s price tag for X reflected its shrinking ad revenue. “Musk clearly overpaid for this asset,” Dan Ives, managing director and senior equity analyst at Wedbush Securities, claimed. He explained that X might have been worth $30 billion when Musk bought it. Although the engagement on the platform was still “strong,” Ives noted the ad pressure had persisted.
Some advertisers disliked the extreme content on the platform that skyrocketed under Musk’s ownership. The businessman didn’t help the situation when he infuriated several brands by embracing an antisemitic conspiracy theory. The backlash halted the spending on X until Musk apologized. However, he seemed far from remorseful by telling upset advertisers to “Go f— yourself.”
While some experts believed Musk’s ownership had caused several problems, others shared a different narrative. Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, believed Fidelity’s estimate about X’s value was “overly aggressive.” Munster told CNN, “If you want a real-time understanding of what people are thinking, Twitter is the best source of that. And that is valuable.” He noted the platform would eventually be worth more than the $44 billion Musk paid.
How will Elon Musk respond to Sophie Rain’s post about his “lucrative” platform?
