Now let’s measure the power X has given him in $$.
The man is now meeting every world leader and they are kissing his ass as X can make or break many leaders’ political futures.
When you already have $250 billion and a trillion dollar company in the pipeline (he owns 45% of spacex, a trillion dollar company in the making), the power X gives him with world leaders matters a lot more than $30-$40 billion.
At that level, people are more worried about their legacy/influence over additional 10-20% net worth.
This constant obsession over X’s finances is dumb af. It could go to zero tomorrow and I doubt elon would lose sleep over it. Some rich people buy politicians, some buy yatch, this man bought one of the worlds most influential social networks. Over the last decade, Bill gates has literally donated more than $100 billion.
Not to mention, X is a massive dataset of relations, peoples behaviour etc and is very valuable data for AI. Suddenly the data he bought may soon be worth a ton by itself.

That valuation still would have been high even before Musk tanked it and all the advertisers left.

Who cares? Why is this in r/technology?
This sub is overrun with a mix of Musk fanboys and Musk haters. And I think they’re both fucking annoying.

Less than half its value before Musk bought it for twice as much.

And yet his fanboys still can’t stop worshipping the 4d genius.

Ouch.
Elon has done (accidentally) one good thing with Twitter. By renaming it X, the post bankruptcy owner can easily signify a break from Elon by reverting the name.

Regardless of whatever Musk did to make it worse, I don’t think Twitter was ever worth $44B

It still seems generous.

this is the real reason he wants Trump to win so he can get a cushy government job with benefits.

Still horrendously overvalued, but I feel for whatever analyst at Fidelity has to take whatever their *real* estimate is and find some way to inflate it enough that they can present it to Abigail.

x.com is a worthless advertising vehicle for reputable companies, but a goldmine for influencers and hate groups to propagate their ideologies. This is, in essence, shadow work that cannot be quantified in terms of corporate value.

Mush paid $44b for a $20b company, then in the span of a year he turned it into a $10b company.
… And it’s not at bottom by a longshot.
Twitter had a $50m a year debt service, which gave it a lot of runway. Musk saddled Twitter with b/t $10-15b of debt from the purchase and another $1b from the first year deficit.
The debt service is now over $1.5 b a year.
Twitter’s revenue was $3.4b in 2023 (22% drop year-over year) and the loss in the all-important “active users who contribute original content” is likely to see 2024 revenue drop to half of what it was pre-Elon.
If this continues, Twitter will eventually reach a point at which the debt service alone is more than the total revenue of Twitter.

He’s successfully shut it down as a public tool used to criticize him, Trump, the Saudi royal family, and Erdoğan, among others.
Which I’ve always suspected was more the plan.
