    You saw the investor list, right? There’s a LOT of people on there who miiiiight not consider direct financial profitability to be the point of their investment.

      Top shareholders of Twitter include:

      1. Elon Musk (owns 78.7% of the company)
      2. Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal (5.7%)
      3. Oracle’s founder Larry Ellison (3.0%)

      WTF they really need to relocate the evil lair in a volcano

      That’s true, but I’d imagine running a site like twitter actively costs money. If advertisers aren’t paying, who is? Do they go to their investors and ask for money? For how long could Elon personally afford to run Twitter with all of its development costs?
