"Pride comes before the fall"
Just because he's rich it doesn't mean he doesn't have faults. He banked on his ability to make Twitter profitable. He was wrong.
It's pretty cut and dry.
That is a big claim.
Reveal one source of info you have that Twitter isn't profitable under his watch right now.
This place runs on facts, so surely you can slightly back your claim, right?
It's a pretty cut and dry ask for source.
He said it himself today: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604626103326253056
"it has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy since May"
I missed the part where Elon bought it back in May and not just 2 or 3 months ago. /s
So your message is that he knew it was to fail all the way back in may. He finalized purchase a couple months ago. And his mission was only to make a profit with Twitter, not something greater? Not something greater by all the headlines and waves he has made in a couple short months?
My eye roll at your comment is that you think his "pride comes before the fall" yet you can't comprehend that maybe he bought (forced?) Twitter for any reason other than for profit. The actions and unusual timelines of everything with Elon Twitter of the last couple of short months point to nothing of him purchasing it for a normal profit.
I don't trust any human fully at this point. I don't claim to have knowledge of any of these WH or BH end goal moves. I Do know, Elon Musk never purchased Twitter with the goal of making a profit and then proceeded to make the very provocative and alienating moves that he has in a short month or so.
But you say he is a prideful person that made mistakes. He is controlled, one way or the other, and none of this is by prideful mistake.
He put the deal directly to the shareholders. He went right over the heads of the board members, who had a financial and legal responsibility to let the shareholders decide.
No, I think he ultimately bought Twitter due to egoic pride. He believed he could run it better than it's previous staff. Profit was a just the bare minimum to make his investment worth it.
I'm enjoying watching a thin-skinned narcissist realize his mistake very publicly. I just don't understand the billionaire dick riding people will do to defend him.
EDIT: Elon agrees with me: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604650028999405568
