Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter

I genuinely don't understand how he's so rich. His value and the value of his companies seems to be entirely based on potential rather than actual profits. Obviously Paypal was a success when he sold it, but Tesla is supposedly the most valuable car company in the world, yet its assets, income and profits are all dwarfed by a company like Toyota or Ford. Obviously I get him being rich, but not one of the richest men in the world. Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates had to have pretty much half the planet using their product before they got that sort of money.

Oh goodness. The boring north-south stuff. Give it a rest. You sound like the people who grew up with on an estate and are still there.

Do we have regional Twitter?

Haha I am from an estate. The point I was making is that the people who make nonsensical north-south comments, especially when it is irrelevant, as you have done in two consecutive posts, are generally insular and have an inferiority complex. Now you think I will get upset because you don't like London.

You're childish, odd, a bore and you lack intelligence so on to the ignore list you go.

No loss at all
 
I'm all for the entrepreneurial spirit & reward ... but there must be something wrong when one person has control over something as widely used & pervasive as Twitter ? He can now affect what hundreds of millions of people read around the planet.

Isn't it also a little worrying that one person can afford to spend $44billion of his own money on one thing that he wants ?

I’ve said the same before. No way should Tesla be one of the most valuable companies in the world with a valuation of nearly a trillion. Every car company is making EVs now and their USP is disappearing fast. It’s down 25% from its peak but still way overvalued imo. But what the fuck do I know?
