  • Twitter was never profitable until data was worth enough and even then…

    Musk tried to pump and dump the stock by saying it was worth much more than it was. Then he immediately got sued because if you manipulate the market like that and have the cash to pay, you have to or it’s considered a crime. Musk then tried to back out, shareholders threaten to sue, and he pretended he actually didnt wanna back out and bought it.

    He purchased it at twice its market value and has since not only cut 80% of staff, but also lost 80% of its original value (not the double musk paid)…

    Twitter only had value to musk because he wanted to use it as a disinformation tool to help SA/Russia/China. He immediately made it a right wing platform where this content is more valuable. It was a dumb decision, still has a dumb business plan and a fuckton of debts. The only reason it didn’t disappear completely is Musk is too rich, but it’s trending down. It’s projected to grow as the US becomes an oligarchy but not because it has real value. Musk wants to turn it into Facebook+ Cash app

    Buying twitter was all in all a terrible business move and mostly to stroke elons ego. Sadly this is “too big to fail” territory

    Those are some pretty easy to answer questions?

    • for the same reason a kitchen island is in the middle of a corner
    • it’s a pallet of eggs, someone dropped it there with a jig
    • it seems one side of the corner has a barrier, the pallet attemps to complete it and prevent people from going that way (a cash register might be there). Or the person dropping it wasn’t careful
    • only bleached eggs need a fridge, most of the world doesn’t bleach their eggs so they can stay on the counter.
    • why not 15? Base 12 makes sense because it’s a highly divisible number (1/2/3/4/6/12) so a lot of stuff are dozens or half a dozens, but there’s no reason eggs need to be. It likely has to do with “the packing problem” which is a difficult math problem of how to shape stuff so you fit the most in a truck load
    • other countries have other languages, and even sometimes completely different alphabets that resemble or share the same roots as English
    • you are experiencing another culture.
