His money is now on the line: He has sunk $44B and has to get it back somehow. It is no longer a cute thought experiment, but cold, harsh reality.

- IanCal 4y agoYou might be right, though I do wonder how much Elon and Zuckerberg look at risks and think "doesn't matter I'll still be insanely wealthy". He has to deal with actual issues if he's bought Twitter, I agree, but I don't know if the financial incentive is so key, even with borrowed money.

- fknorangesite 4y agoThanks for the correction; this changes everything.
- silisili 4y agoDon't see it happening in his lifetime...unless he changes it radically and just bought it for the user base, which honestly is probably closer to the truth. Even if he fired everyone, and got free hosting, it would take nearly a decade to get that back. But that's obviously not realistic.
