    Since Twitter is now private, we’ll never know the real numbers, but the paper value of the Twitter brand itself being cast aside is a huge non-monetary loss.

      That’s not entirely true. There is a company that still holds its Twitter shares even after it went private. They are the ones that everyone points to when looking for real estimates of how much value the company has lost. Every quarter or so they release their estimate of their shares in Twitter, and based on the total shares they own, we can get a good idea of the total company valuation.

        Twitter was a public company before Elon’s acquisition. Not sure what you’re trying to get at with the “profit-driven” comment either… every business is by necessity.
