      Sure, but at the end of the day, does it really matter? It’s like made up numbers that never run out. He’s still set for life, no real consequence. He feels this less than someone who misses a car payment one month.

        That’s the really crazy thing. With the market value crash of Twitter he lost more money than the GDP of a small country. Yet, it practically makes no difference to him.

      How much of his own money did he really lose though? Didn’t he have a bunch of people throw in with him?

        Around $22Bn, that’s how much he had to sell on Tesla stock. The other half was a loan from several banks and investors that got saddled to Twitter itself. These things are public, that’s how we know most of the loan money came from the Saudi crown.

      Yeah, he probably wanted it in order to influence the election, but the way things are going it might but be around for that. Not to mention, Twitter isn’t really used by real people, it’s basically just all journalists circle jerking.
