“Fidelity is currently valuing X at about $9.4 billion”

I found this funny.

    Meanwhile he is on track to become the world’s first trillionaire

    I think the purchase was more about welding power than any financial gain

      Hasn’t his wealth kinda flatlined lately though? X is doing terribly, Tesla is struggling a bit, I think SpaceX is at least doing well.

      I don’t think he’s going to be a trillionaire any time soon.

      Would you not agree that he has a tool of influence with X? I see that as the main aspect of why you’d still buy twitter, even though he knew he wouldn’t earn money with that.

      He tried to back out, I don’t think any of this was about anything. He’s just a dick with a weird sense of humor.
