That channel is just wholesome stuff (if you consider hunting and fishing wholesome activities). The guy who runs it seems like a chill dude, and he does some interesting survival camping videos.

This won’t sound like a serious idea, but it kind of is. Can somehow who understands capital markets better than I do explain why Musk wouldn’t just take the company public again and hope to achieve a >$44 billion valuation through the same forces (idiot Muskrats and crypto bros) that keep Tesla, GameStop, and crypto more overvalued than they should be?

Since he doesn’t have a path to recouping his investment based on solid business fundamentals, isn’t leaving more ignorant and credulous supporters of his holding the bag a better strategy?

One issue is that literally no one thinks Twitter is worth $44B including musk, which is why he sued to get out of the contract he signed - the contract that his lawyers screamed at him not to sign.

If he takes the company public again it’ll get priced closer to actual value, which was around $30B before musk bought the company and spent a year destroying all the valuable poo poo (human capital, reputation, etc) and all the infrastructure that would be needed for Twitter to continue to function as a company.

Company value is assets and future earnings potential - musk has been frantically burning both as fast as possible.

Here is a question for everyone in the thread.

What is the over/under do you think of twitter being sold or in bankruptcy, and then Elon claiming to be a puppetmaster and intended it all along?




My prediction: August 2025 (the election season will buoy it a bit) twitter goes into bankruptcy and is sold. By November 2025 :elon: "I meant to do that." :elon:

Would he just be restricted from tweeting out material non public information relating to the stock? It doesn’t seem like he does much of that anyway. I assume there aren’t penalties for tweeting transphobia and other general invective as he’s already the CEO of another public company and the SEC isn’t stepping in there.

He can post anything he wants that doesn't have a direct impact on stocks. He doesn't do that anymore because he learned doing was costly.

It's the other decisions he makes about Twitter, like not paying rent or mass firings that could open him up to questions from stockholders and they could always remove him from leadership if Twitter continually posts quarter over quarter loss.

For a hypothetical IPO he would need to declare the Twitter valuation is $44B and slice the company into 811K shares at $54.20 apiece. For every dollar below tyat he'll have lost $.9B and severely hurt Twitter future valuations.

We've seen his tweeting cost Tesla $20-30 per share in stock price.


There's also a greater burden of reporting for a public company, putting metrics that are just wrong or have little financial impact but telling people they are important, like minutes per user is fineable and having to repost quarterly financials after an error is very expensive.

Naw. Twitter itself is fixable. If someone viable buys them tomorrow they can easily turn the poo poo around.

I’d say value for Twitter at the moment is somewhere between 4-6 billion. It is effectively a giant fixer upper that is only viable to a company that has the engineering team and infrastructure to fix it.

The only value right now is the userbase and data. Unless you have the above to right that ship that is questionable as to how long the data and users are worth anything.

Really Elon needs to unload Twitter as soon as possible while he can still get anything out of it. The longer he waits the less it is worth. As it is we are probably 3 months away from it being MySpace.

Temporary nerve damage is common with surgery. Nerve damage is classified as 'permanent' when it lasts more than 1-2 months. In those cases, nerves will still regenerate over time.
