The dip is small but the enormous debt Elon put on its back will definitely kill it soon enough.

And to think that the only thing Elon Musk needs to do to stop this trainwreck is to a) hand over control to any CEO at all not named Elon, b) get Elon Musk to take a break from social media.

Nah, at this point his only option is to cancel Starship and redirect all of its development funding into building a time machine so that he can dramatically increase the amount of weed he was smoking at the time he got the brilliant idea to buy Twitter so that his brain is made incapable of actually following through with it.
