shame on an IGA posted:has twitter ever made money Per https://www.statista.com/statistics/274563/annual-net-income-of-twitter/ yes! Sizable 2018/2019 profits, offset by losing money up to that point and a near-equal loss in 2020. Everyone may be thinking of Reddit, which is valued at around $10B, but they're burning/raising investor capital to eventually go public and make eleventy billion. RFC2324 posted:They just signed a deal thats gonna make some of them some money.  shame on an IGA posted:I was about to say "you can't make your entire business model be hoping to sell out to a greater fool" but then I remembered this is a tech company The innovation here is a rich loser getting so owned and loving shitposting so much that he's deliberately buying in post-con. It's always Randos Make Unprofitable Tech Company --> Company Goes Public, Makes Founders Zillions --> Company Atrophies As People Realize There's No Profit. Now it's Elon coming in and saying YES I WILL DEFINITELY NO LONGER GET OWNED AND/OR CAN MAKE MONEY WHEN THEY ALL SUCKED AT IT

It's quite funny how many banks are lining up with YES YES ELON TAKE MY MONEY (ps your Tesla stock is collateral) offers in this buyout package. Elon might be worth $260B, but it's not liquid. It really is likely motivated by his need for admiration and his hatred of getting owned, and this is a nice little gift too: https://twitter.com/evacide/status/1518472903347490816

The point of Twitter isn't to directly make money, it's to be a propoganda mouthpiece so people can make money on planned insider trading side hustles

Elon might be worth $260B, but it's not liquid. Twitter might go under but it won't be on account of a mass exodus. People don't give a poo poo about their info anymore and don't give the slightest gently caress who has it. In fact, the richer the better

It all goes back to "if you have nothing to hide, why don't you turn over what they want?" and Trump giving up $10k per day indefinitely to own the libs even though it makes him look even guiltier and further doubles down on the grift.

It is possible that he ends up in a spiral where Tesla stock is plummeting requiring him to sell more to fill his margin account causing Tesla stock to drop etc. I doubt this happens, but it would be funny.
