Haha the poor company is only worth 11 billion. Fuckin' worthless. Surely Elon can't do anything to influence the world with one of his companies barely worth anything.

But I am glad it's value is going down. Twitter sucks.

79% is closer to 1/5, it's down to 9.24 billion.

9.4 billion is the value mentioned on the article. 78.7% devaluation.

He tossed 33 billion dollars (so far) in the trash.

If Trump wins and the fascists triumph and his twitter buyout is seen as instrumental to that... well, good job I guess. He'll still never recoup that amount from trump government handouts. It's a ridiculous amount of money.

If Trump loses he'll have thrown away the money and his reputation for... nothing. A true business genius.

This is not about money but about ideology. They want fascism to win in the US and they'll pay any amount of money.
