New Delhi: How much potential can a tweet have? Can it wipe out hundreds of millions of wealth of a company? Yes perhaps, if the tweet goes from reality star Kylie Jenner.

Jenner on Thursday tweeted that she was no longer using the messaging service.

"sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me... ugh this is so sad," Jenner tweeted.

Following the tweet Snapchat`s parent company Snap Inc lost some $1.3 billion in market value. Snap Inc.`s shares tanked by over six percent in Thursday trading, a loss of about $1.3 billion in market capitalization.


She later followed up with "still love you tho snap ... my first love," but the damage was already been done.
