"no one said it would fall off the earth immediately, that it would cease to function right now"
Quite a few people said that it would crash essentially immediately.
- stouset 4y agoYou can find “quite a few people” to say literally anything.
- wyclif 4y agoBut the point is that enough people were saying it that it quickly became something to be mocked and pushed back on.
- stouset 4y agoFrom my perspective, most people were saying something along the lines of Musk is going to tank the company within a week. Or something along those lines. Which… by all evidence he has. The corpse of Twitter might shamble on for awhile. He might even sell it down the line for pennies on the dollar. But he’s got to turn a billion in profit just to pay down the debt. Best of luck with that.
- Ekaros 4y agoTank can be many things. Like for example. Would the ex-shareholders buy back the company at stock value it had before Musk completed the transaction? Or where would the company in current shape be valued at?
- oaktrout 4y agoSo you agree with me then, I was replying to a post that said "no one".
