X is officially worth less than half of what Elon Musk paid for it
theverge.com
A year after he bought Twitter for $44 billion, Musk thinks the company is now worth $19 billion, a 55 percent drop.
Let's recap what he did to Twitter, I will go first:
- Changed the original name Twitter to X.

Yeah it’s definitely life changing. The public sentiment over the last couple of years has gone from
“wow Elon musk is a genius who will electrify the world and get us to mars”
to
“Wow Elon Musk is a massive moron who clearly isn’t anywhere near as smart as he thinks he is”
and the more he spreads right wing conspiracy shit the worse it’s getting for him.
Let’s not even talk about the public image but the private one now- he borrowed something like $20b? from several banks to make the deal who are now saddled with the debt. They have also been discussing (publicly) selling it at a loss because they’re done with Elon. Other banks will not lend him money, ESPECIALLY with interest rates being what they are and what he’s done this last year. The time of free money (which is how he built all of his companies) and unlimited government subsidies is done and that’s the only way he’s been successful- when there’s virtually no risk.
He cannot pay his interest payments because he’s only rich on paper. He’s likely cash poor and hasn’t even been paying normal Twitter bills let alone interest payments for his $20b loan, which IIRC gains like a billion in interest every year. Dude dug himself into a hole with no way out
Sounds like he's only a constitutional amendment away from being President of The US.
lol that would never happen, the GOP would NEVER allow anyone but natural born citizens to serve
I mean he's a white male, for them he's more American than most of the country.
Both of you to assume they wouldn't change the rules to serve their purpose before changing it right back, if they even bothered at all.
