Remember how people said Elon would bankrupt it in a few short years?

Half the revenue, double the profit. That's how much wasteful spending was going on. Wild.

I remember. None will entertain this thread, but if they do, it will be to question the exact numbers of profit or to whine about DOGE cutting their funding

it was never not going to be a big money maker for elon, and that's with these gobs of advertisers that are just now starting to come back and advertise.
From a real-time perspective, there is literally no place better to find up to the second information.
Cut costs very aggressively and run lean.

I was skeptical when he overpaid and the advertisers were abandoning Twitter.
Then a few things happened:
1. Elon got a cash infusion form Larry Ellison. (Elon could have done it himself but that would have required liquidating some of his Space X and Tesla assets and that is not only a bad look but using his own money would NOT be doing his fiduciary duty for his investors.)
2. Elon opened up X to the formally banned. This really expanded growth.
3. The advertisers came back because they figured out that X is the place to reach an audience.

This is all you need to know understand who is freaking out about DOGE and why.

misleading, especially when Musk himself said how bad their financial strait is 
Only after cutting costs to the bones, twitters earnings ($1.2 billion) are basically equal to its annual debt interest payments—meaning it’s barely breaking even. so, there’s not much room for growth unless X can sell more ads (which consists of 90% of Twitter's revenue). the active user number has been stagnant for 2 years btw
LINK /
“The debt is being pitched with a set of financials showing roughly $1.2 billion of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in 2024, according to people familiar with the matter. That includes about $400 million of EBITDA on $710 million of revenue in the final three months of the year, an increase from the two preceding quarters that indicates an election-related bump for the social media platform.”
Though that’s, reportedly, what Musk has been pushing, with recent reports suggesting that Musk has sought to motivate X staff to do more, noting in a recent all-staff email that “user growth is stagnant, revenue is unimpressive, and we’re barely breaking even.”
That aligns with the above notes on X’s finances, though Musk himself denies that he ever sent this message.

the most confusing point of all the lefts melts about Elon and Twitter is the fact that is was known that Twitter hadn’t been profitable, currently wasn’t profitable, and had no route to profitability when Musk acquired it.
it was already just bleeding money, so anything Musk did or does to it can only help. if at worst it does go under (doesn’t seem likely now), it would have been back to where it was headed from the start.
but instead the purchase also got him a platform with direct access to the President, which has an ROI that can’t even be calculated for how good it is across all of his businesses

You mean, "CRT on z"

I'd have to super dig to see if that's accurate, because the media is absolutely dog shite at reading financials.
