Elon Musk buys and ruins Twitter

[threespires]

Feels like the thread title will soon need some sort of update involving the BM staples of bricks, windows, doors, pyromania and insurance.

Taking something as big and established as Twitter apart in a matter of weeks. At great cost to his wealth.

Don't think there has been an act of such philanthropy in a while.

Apt as it means a confusion of tongues.

Isn't this a bit like what would happen if Damocles bought bluemoon?

sounds fishy.

You mean Barbel? Definitely agree that Musk seems to be swimming upstream. Time to give him the hook.

This is going to be part of economics degrees in a few years time.

He's taken a reasonably profitable company worth about $8Bn, spent $44Bn on it, cost himself $150Bn, saddled it with unpayable debt, and then fired everyone who was responsible for it being a functional business and put it on the path to failure inside 2 weeks.

I know a couple of football clubs he could buy when he's run Twitter into the ground.
