    I mean this is just ridiculous. He bough twitter for twice what it was actually worth fmv. He’s since gutted it infrastructural and culturally.

    If it went public today under his leadership, there is no way it would be worth even 5% of its prior value.

      He bought it with the specific intent of using it to measurably impact the election we’re having in 10 months.

        And for 44 billion, so he basically got screwed out of a small fortune to ruin it for someone else. It would have been cheaper and as effective to distort the election to keep running it the way it was.

        I know this and have repeated it elsewhere. In this particular sense, it does have the value he paid.

      Yep.

      By design. Which is a good thing for the rest of the world. Twitter has been a cesspool from the start.
