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.

Apart from pure schadenfreude, it doesn't matter to me.

But I'm enjoying the schadenfreude.

$64 question: In 12 months, how much effect will Musk have on the Twitter profit/loss line?

[Klaus]

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.

You'll know.

There is no such thing as a disseminated document that is not known beyond its original intended audience.

“Donald Trump says he won’t return to Twitter if Elon Musk reverses ban”

Donald Trump told CNBC on Monday he wouldn’t return to Twitter even if Elon Musk, the company’s incoming owner, reversed the former president’s ban.
.
“No, I won’t be going back on Twitter,” Trump told CNBC’s Joe Kernen.
.
“I will be on Truth Social within the week. Its on schedule. We have a lot of people signed up. I like Elon Musk. I like him a lot. He’s an excellent individual. We did a lot for Twitter when I was in the White House. I was disappointed by the way I was treated by Twitter. I won’t be going back on Twitter,” he said.

I just saw that. They’re still pretending truth social hasn’t failed. He’ll renege once they’re beyond that phase.

Their stock has been hammered by Musk. It lost another 40% since he first announced his Twitter stake.
