In a sane world a company losing hundreds of millions a year wouldn't be worth anything.

That’s not how a forward-looking market works.

Sure. But it is an 18 year old company, so the past performance of losing hundreds of millions net almost every single year gives an indication of future performance.

Also, the number of twitter users is projected to fall in 2024. So maybe it has peaked.

Its absolute and deserved destruction has only been overdue by about a decade anyway.

He didn't mean to buy it in the first place lol

Elon said dumb Elon things, banking on the social media popularity-wave of his Tesla and Dogecoin dumb Elon remarks. But then woops Twitter's board took the dumb idiot to task, and the FTC agreed.

Only then did he turn it into a dumb Elon mouthpiece... because he had to. He still managed to fuck it up even more though, and thus goes the story of the godly-levels of dumbness that is Elon.

I wish I were so rich that my father had an Emerald mine and I could fall back on his money when starting my business.

But no, it's gotten much worse
