>guy that played himself into burning $44 billion
That seems unquestionable. Twitter wasn't worth that price when he actually took control or he wouldn't have tried so hard to get out of the deal. It is impossible to put an accurate value on Twitter today, but it seems obvious that its value has gone down even further under Musk's leadership.
>a website that makes no money
Maybe hyperbolic depending on your definition of "makes no money", but it hasn't turned a profit in years so it is fair to categorize it as "a website that makes no money".
>just so he could force all its users to read his shitposts
Maybe you object to the "just" there and he had other reasons to make the purchase, but this general accusation seems true[1]. He is at least partially motivated by vanity and getting other people to read his weird jokes.

- zimpenfish 4y ago> it hasn't turned a profit in years Barring the $800M legal settlement which took them to $220M loss, they'd have made $580M profit in 2021. Things were definitely on the upswing.
