In my opinion you cannot make money off of Twitter, no matter what business model you implement. I also don't think Musk would spent that much money just to lower his tax burden when selling Tesla stock. Its quite possible he will make the cost of his purchase back by working with foreign governments. I can imagine for countries like Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan... the information that twitter harvest back stage regarding their citizens (the "rouge" ones) is most likely priceless.
- joshspankit 4y agoAt it’s core, Twitter is a very simple technology with minimal cost per user. If it were truly pared down to the essentials he could have zero business model and add it’s costs as a line item on a different balance sheet. However, he’s talked about making it a Wechat which means an opportunity to collect fees for transactions made through the platform. With minimal costs, no advertising, and a decent flow of transaction fees? That could be a business with healthy enough profit.
