Interesting to see how many websites will close due to a drop in ad revenue. A paywall won’t save your small news site.

In fact, it’s not registered as a bank. It’s registered as a financial services company: https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2016/10/91093-brief-german-... In addition, it’d be quite weird if a random startup can get

Does GAAP exclude one-time-effects? I can see them selling their grounds, offices and renting it again and the like.

Can imagine very well that the whole Musk cult implodes with an accounting scandal of that sort.
