It's swapping one bubble for another. From the recent tweets it looks like Musk has a clear vision he wants implemented and isn't really looking to add a lot of diverse opinions to his thought process. He has more FU money than anyone else alive (even if Twitter goes to 0), so I'm pretty sure he'll turn it into whatever new bubble he wants.
- stoicjumbotron 4y agoSo hypothetically speaking if Twitter goes to 0 or close to it, no monetary penalty will be slapped to Musk as it is private? Damn!
- nearbuy 4y agoYou mean other than losing the $44 billion? What additional penalty would there be if Twitter were public?
- ghostpepper 4y agoOstensibly a CEO owes a fiduciary duty to shareholders to protect their investment
- asutekku 4y agoBut Musk took Twitter private, there’s no shareholders to please.
- throwawaylinux 4y agoPrivate doesn't mean no shareholders.
- lambda 4y agoThere were $13 billion in loans, and private investments from other folks like Larry Ellison and Suadi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal as well as some private equity firms. So yes, there are shareholders, and there are creditors, it's just that in the private equity world, "caveat emptor" applies, they are expected to be sophisticated and wealthy enough to not need the protections given to investors in publicly traded companies.
- Railander 4y agoFrom his recent tweets he has said exactly the opposite; that he will build a "council" of diversified opinions and cultures, or something of the sort. Whatever that means or if it's ever actually happening though remains to be seen.
