Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter

Go get 'em, tiger.
Twitter has seriously underperformed, in part due to it banning or seriously curtailing some people who had millions of followers... Trump, Tucker, Bongino, etc.

That's like saying a backup quarterback sucks ass. Compared to the most popular social media platforms on the planet, Twitter's still in the top 10, and 1 in 7 Americans use it regularly. That ain't nothin'.
And banning Trump has nothing to do with its not being #1. Nothing at all. Scads of conservatives are on there and have no problem with the platform. It's simply not as entertaining to use as YouTube, not as personal as Facebook, and not as addictive as TikTok.

Put your head in a bucket of water and take a deep breath.
In just the three names I mentioned, you have millions of followers with tens of millions of hits on their tweets or the tweet thread...That ain't chicken feed.

It's a common fallacy among people who don't use Twitter to believe the platform is exactly like it's portrayed in outrage porn articles. The vast majority of Twitter doesn't care about any of that. Individuals, influencers, small companies, non-profits, corporations... they use the platform and couldn't care less that Donald Drumpf was banned.
Please love yourself.

That's all well and good.
Now add in all the activity from reading and responding to Trump and those other people. For example, look at CNN's ratings after Trump left office. Twitter is leaving meat on the bone.

Amazing how no other competitors have stepped up to pick off those meat Twitter left on the bone, eh?

To Jolly's point, they literally have. Instagram, YouTube and Facebook have four to ten times the user base that Twitter has. But for example, Twitter has about 100 million more users than America has citizens, so the Donald Trump thing is just a drop in the bucket. It really doesn't matter in the big scheme of things.

So the deal is closed? Not so clear. Stocks are still trading below $54.20, so I guess there's still risk.
The news is reporting that it’s a done deal. Get your popcorn…

Assuming the deal does through, this will not be your concern by then and you may never know because it Twitter would be a private company not obligated to publish its financial statements.
