$3.8 Billion / year of that pain is directly attributable to Musk, in a company that only had $5 Billion/year revenue.
Its really that simple. Look at the advertising losses due to Elon Musk's right-wing redpilling of the world... and add the $1.3 Billion loan structure Elon Musk is directly responsible for. There's no need to overthink this. We can actually calculate how much revenue Twitter is losing directly related to Elon Musk's behavior.

If you want to argue otherwise, you need to start putting down at least some napkin-level estimates to where the other losses-of-revenue came from for Twitter. Or you need to chip away at the $3.8 Billion number I posted above.
Coming into a $5 Billion revenue company and immediately causing $3.8 Billion (combination lost revenue and new liabilities) is very impressive. I don't think I've ever seen someone wipe out... 76% of a company's revenue in just 3 months before.
- skwirl 4y agoI don’t know what this has to do with what I posted. I never said Twitter was doing well under Musk. You are shadowboxing.
- dragontamer 4y ago> I don’t know what this has to do with what I posted. The problems you're trying to discuss are almost entirely irrelevant to Twitter's current woes. The actual problems are measured in the $Billions/year size. The problems you discuss are perhaps only a few dozen million/year. > You are shadowboxing. You are making a mountain out of a molehill. The $million mistakes should be ignored for the $Billion mistakes happening right now.
