- isitmadeofglass 4y agoHe didn’t pay due to what Twitter currently is, he bought because of what he thinks he can make it. That obviously means a detour from their current direction, otherwise he would have just leaned back with his investment let things continue as they are and wait for them to become more valuable.
- pessimizer 4y ago> he bought because of what he thinks he can make it. He bought because it is his favorite place to be, he said he would as a joke, decided why not and made an offer right before a massive valuation drop, and then was forced to by the courts if he wanted to avoid disclosing a lot of personal information. I don't think that he actually fantasizes about it making money.
- concinds 4y agoThe value generated by employes determines the market capitalization, not the delta between market cap and acquisition bid. Whether you pay "above market price" or not has nothing to do with the value employees provide, but with how friendly or hostile the board and shareholders may be, or how willing to sell they are.
