In July, Musk tweeted about Twitter / X’s financial situation, saying, “We’re still negative cash flow, due to ~50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load.”
Advertising could be up two fold for all it matters. You sack a company that last turned an annual profit in 2019 with $44B in debt, it won’t matter if Musk is shitting gold bricks. You can’t pay that size of debt off fast enough. To just get started on that debt Musk would need to make Twitter twenty times more profitable than their 2019 profit. And even then that debt is going to be a monkey on his back for forty years in ideal conditions.
That $44B isn’t chump change for Twitter, like maybe if Tencent took a sudden $44B debt they’d make good on it, but they’re wildly profitable. Twitter barely gets by and has only gone on this long because of the Tech Bro funding that all but dried up when the interest rates were going up.
only chance is if they go hardware i think (edit: have any of you heard of diversification)
Hardware? Hardware was never profitable. It’s a gateway to spending more money on proprietary software.
Unless you’re Nintendo, they have their cake and eat it too.
IDK, I imagine they’re online service is pretty profitable.
what?
You know how some companies make vibrating dildos? Twitter should do that.
So it’ll vibrate every time someone says “woke” on the platform?
They’ll randomly go off in luggage so they get disposed of by a bomb squad?
Who said hardware can’t be a valid recurring revenue model?
You know, like the Gavin Belson Signature Box III.

Hardware… what?
Chat, banking, stock trades, and lawn mowers
Twitter wasnt saddled with 44B in debt, That was the purchase price, which included $13B in debt
I can’t wait to see how his offer to pay people’s legal bills who get in trouble at work for saying problematic shit on his platform works out
Alot like Trumps promise to do the same thing would be my guess
The last thing Twitter needs right now is to find more clever and creative ways to spend money, especially on other peoples legal problems
Can someome post a meme of this dickwipe musk strangling a bird
Someone here got Stable Defusion skills? I bet that could look great in all kinds of styles!
I have immense difficulty feeling sorry for any of the members of Elon’s Rent-a-Fascist program. He’s a huckster, everyone knows he’s a huckster, and the people who don’t or refuse to believe it will have to learn that lesson the hard way.
no surprises here
He cannot even manage to pay the rent due on the office space. Hardly a shocker that he’s having trouble paying the revenue-sharing bills as well.
Really?!? And yet he’s having the sign illegally changed? This guy is wild
Should’ve said he’d pay them in
RedditCoinTwitterCash, so he can set his own withdrawal requirements and exchange rates.He can pay. He chooses not to, then acts like staying in SF is a grand show of loyalty (no one else will rent to him, he’s a deadbeat).
He’s pure gift who has managed to have companies that work despite him. He’s the Zaphod Beeblebrox of business. But both heads are empty.
This is the most perfect description of him I’ve ever heard. Got a solid laugh out of it.
This belongs in [email protected]
Yes, please keep all the Elon shit nearly packed into one sub that I can block.
the dead bird looks like sonic the hedgehog
Gotta die fast!
…doing duck lips…
They look like his ears to me.
He wants a kiss.
Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino has not tweeted publicly about the delay.
But Musk has. It’s clear who is running things.
I wish I could get paid as much as a CEO to do nothing
She is giving Tom Wambsgans with Lukas Matsson, human punching bag vibes.
She’s like twitters version of Ellen Pao.
She probably does a lot and then musk inserts himself into random situations and fucks it up. She says “okay eng team build Foo” and then next week Elon goes on a rant and cancels Foo without consulting her.
Weird. He was so good at paying his rent and other bills. /S
But definitely trust them with your money! They’re gonna be a bank!
Elon can’t deliver on a promise. I’m shocked.
Still waiting for the hyperloop…
FSD $20k Tesla Roadster 2 Cybertruck Solar Roof that costs same as new roof + solar panels Unmanned assembly line Etc
Mac wants the flamethrower!

Imagine paying a subscription just to be eligible for ad revenue coming from impressions of your own content. Literal cucks.
If you can pay $8 a month and make $5k a month from that $8, how exactly does that make someone a cuck?
Why don’t Elon and Donald pay their bills?
How does space x fit here, again? These are crazy people.
Because they’re scum.
Because nobody makes them.
Because “you don’t get rich by paying your bills” according to them.
They were both born wealthy so it would be pretty stupid to listen to them explaining how to get rich, unless you were also born wealthy.
If you’d be born wealthy, it would be pretty stupid to listen to them explaining how to get rich, unless you want to piss away your and your daddy‘s money. Elon hasn’t made it quite the way (but he is getting there), but Trump Sr. must be very disappointed.
He’s is literally the wealthiest person in the world
Enjoy 😉

Good bot!
From what I’ve read, trump’s dad was every bit the sociopathic, evil, criminal, that trump is, he just wasn’t a doofus like trump. So he probably pretty proud, except for the doofus, low-class part.
Oh, I didn’t mean „morally disappointed“, but disappointed in his inability to brutally grow the business instead of wasting his time with petty crimes.
All you have to do is make coffee at home, don’t eat avocado toast and work 25 hours a day. That way you can become a billionaire too.
Avocado toast has such power! It’s strange that if I eat an avocado and toasted bread separately, there’s no impact on my financial outlook, but the second I combine them, blammo!
Grifters gonna grift
