My goodness. Do you think bankruptcy is a failure of Elon’s or a way for him to turn a company that was hemorrhaging money into one that is profitable? Do you think bankruptcy means the company will cease to exist?

Clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. Sad.

I am just curious, was this not an issue with the former CEO? Seems like Elon is pretty transparent about the financial situation of the company. Were the former CEO & CFO going to lay off employees also?

This sounds out of context Twitter will be cheap to run once he cuts out 75% of workforce

Will advertisers stick around?

the share price he paid is less than 20 percent more than the share price prior to announcing his intentions. That is a standard valuation factor when taking a company from publicly traded to closely held by a single individual. Saying he got fleeced is silly.

Under the former CEO Twitter was losing about $50 million / year with about $2 Billion in revenues. Pretty much breaking even. Under Elon Twitter is now losing $1 Billion / year and apparently he has destroyed a lot of revenue.

Good news: Yoel Roth out at Twitter as Head of Trust and Safety

Huge win. He was the second worst at Twitter behind Vijaya. This is like when Heydrich was assassinated.

Publicly traded. Easier to play with other people's money. Elon took it private and added billions to Twitter debt in the process. He set money on fire.

So the geniuses were the losers running the company losing 4 million dollars a month?


It wasn't losing that much when he bought it. If he paid $44 Billion for a company that was losing $4million a month the guy has some serious mental issues.

He's not a "genius". He's a narcissist who likes to tell you he's a genius.

He founded SpaceX but every other company he owned was already established. He just purchased them. Including Tesla. People act like the guy is in there building rockets.

Honestly the only thing I think the guy does is tweet all day. Tesla shareholders wants him to step down as CEO because he never works. He's just cashing checks at this point.

No it wasn’t. He made his offer to buy Twitter for $54.20 on April 14th. The price that day was 48.37. You are confusing the 38 percent increase from when Musk initially purchased 9 percent of the company. The premium he paid was less than 20 percent.

I like how you just glossed right over the fact that you said he founded SpaceX

You're also incorrect, he owned other companies before all of those that he started himself and made a shite ton of money on.

They do? Or a few random shareholders said that and you're passing it off as "Tesla Shareholders want" it?
