It was the paid blue checkmark for $8 back in 2022.
Kinda old article info without much current stuff except the lawsuit against the ad trade group.
Watching Twitter die the slow agonizing cancerous death it deserves makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
Is it dying though? It is getting worse and worse but I don’t think people are leaving in huge numbers
Oh yes, they are. Every content creator that’s still on Twitter for some reason complains about how engagement is way down. Many are considering leaving Twitter, if they haven’t already. Of course, some groups still remain for now, but it’s just a matter of time until everyone who isn’t a full on Nazi has left that pile of garbage.
The fact that this tweet caused their stock price to dive really shows what a joke the stock market is .
Ugh… it drives me nuts!
Musk had to borrow around $13 billion for his doomed $44 billion acquisition.
Had he spent that
$57$44 billion on developing space hardware instead of going insane and squandering it on social media bullshit, he might have done something worthwhile. I mean… fifty seven billion! What even is that much money? He could have had his own space station for that much money! He could fly up there for weekends, just for funzies.That $13 billion is part of the $44 billion, you don’t add them together.
He spent $31 billion of his own capital, and borrowed $13 billion to cover the rest.
Oh great, I added all the numbers in your comment together and now it’s $101 billion?? When will this madness end???
You’ve bamboozled my attempt to make the same joke at your expense by only mentioning one number in your comment, giving me nothing to add to it. From this point on, I conclude we should only ever mention one number in each comment, for clarity.
“own capital” probably more like stocks from Tesla, I doubt any actual money moved
That’s why I used the word “capital” instead of “money”, but I had a feeling someone still was going to deliberately misunderstand me to try to sound smart.
Well now that you mention it I agree and feel dumb.
Anyways, I’m still right so it means I can double down.
I’m GLAD we don’t tax Billionaires like Musk! Imagine if instead of buying a Website for $44BILLION he instead bought kids $44BILLION worth of School Lunch! The HORROR!
