    Not great according to this ****wad:

    SAN FRANCISCO — Elon Musk said Twitter is now worth about $20 billion, according to an email he sent the company’s employees on Friday, a significant drop from the $44 billion that he paid to buy the social network in October.
    ​
    How do you think it is doing @Space Ghost ?

    I have to say once again - i am extremely glad musk was forced to buy Twitter.

    Sorry to the people who lost their jobs, and obviously, the collateral damage of all the hate speech and scamming, but it's otherwise been completely hilarious in terms of watching the bbs Icarus musklordz (@tinman @AroundTheWorld @Commodore ) be judicially compelled to vicariously purchase Twitter, to vicariously fail spectacularly in the ownership & operation thereof due to hubris, malevolence and ineptitude - and to vicariously plunge like Icarus from the stratosphere into the Marianas Trench of fail.

    Enjoyed. Will look back fondly and poast again.

    @Space Ghost if you send Elon $4 you're helping LeBron break even on his verified account that he didn't want

    Can I get in on this? Do you accept iTunes gift cards? Or is it crypto only?

    The goal of a business is not to break even by not paying rent, ignoring contracts, and collapsing both revenues and expenses. I mean, he could literally just shut it down and declare bankruptcy and get to break even. That's super easy if that's the goal.

    Businesses lose money to spur growth. Tesla lost money for a decade but presumably you agree it was a good thing. Twitter was considered more valuable by the world when it was growing and losing money than it is today being break even. That should tell you something that people were more interested in investing in the money-losing growth business than the break-even Elon business.

    Elon would have to be able to sell Twitter for 40+ billion to break even. What a stupid take.

    He already said it was worth 22 billion - all he has to do is sell it, buy it back and then sell it again and he is at break-even

    Reading comprehension fail and you feel the need to call someone stupid? This isn't an NFT he is trading.

    Even if the company was losing 10 million a month, losing 22 billion in valuation is the same as losing 183 years of runway. Please educate me how Elons purchase and management of Twitter is a success.

    You obviously don't understand the difference between valuation and revenues.

    I did not say the Twitter purchase was a success. I stated Musk said Twitter is break even and you (as usual) ran with nonsense from there. Who expected Twitter to be a smashing success in 6 months after his purchase?

    That isn't really proof Elon has done anything. I don't have strong favorable feelings towards Musk, but unsubstantiated claims are still unsubstantiated claims.

    You are outraged because there is an account called "Elon Test"?

    I think I do understand the difference. If that's your argument, what timeline do you think Elon will make his return on investment? Do you believe Twitter will regain its valuation and generate enough profit (not just revenue) within Elon's lifetime for the 44 billion to have been a sound investment. Don't forget the interest he has to pay on the loan as well.

    If you think the answer is no, then I would argue that his takeover of Twitter has been quite the disaster.
