That's not "frick you" money, that's "GO frick YOURSELF" money.

Love it. He straight up says the most rational solution and the interviewer has no idea how to respond.

Twitter’s value has plummeted by almost two-thirds since Elon Musk acquired the company in October 2022, one of the social media company’s only remaining external investors has admitted. Fidelity, an asset manager that held a stake in Twitter worth about $20m after Musk acquired the business for $44bn, said in a corporate filing that its stake was now worth just under $6.6m. That would value the overall company, now officially called X Holdings Corp after Musk’s early venture X.com, at just $14.75bn.


Anyone using this as a legit excuse for saying Musk is mismanaging Twitter really doesn’t understand corporate finance. Fidelity is able to massage that number to lower the cost of equity on their books. Since it’s private, they have plenty of leeway in valuing Twitter. By writing it down, they can use the “loss” to offset equity gains elsewhere, thus reducing taxes. It also allows them to record a gain on Twitter later on.

On a separate note, I don’t think Musk really cares if he loses money on Twitter. It’s pretty obvious that the 1st amendment is sacrosanct to him.

Clearly he doesn't give a shite about that. If he did, he would kiss advertisers asses like nothing else and try to make nice with everyone instead of pissing people off and showing that he doesn't care what they think or do.

I mean, he flew to Israel days after this shitstorm to kiss the ring of the PM.

Probably double edged by not wanting to catch a ban from Israel or the tech industry located within.

Might not be advertisers, but there is always an arse to kiss.

It’s a brilliant business decision. Disney needs that platform way more than the platform needs Disney. The demographics are clearly in Elon’s favor. The products that Disney is selling are aimed at the kind of users who participate in BlackTwitter multiple times per day. Instagram thots are not purchasing Disney products. Facebook Karens are committed to dog rescue and breed clubs. BlackTwitter, however, is the natural home for the consumer fetish culture of a typical Disney entertainment product. Facebook Karen is buying 50 as F-ck t shirts not little mermaid dresses.
