WeWork is walking an extremely tight rope with a very narrow window of time and not a lot of options.
Things could go in many directions (merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, extension) and this is the last time the current management/shareholders will have any kind of say/leverage in what happens.
Do you just expect them to do nothing and wait for inevitable implosion and the subsequent wipe out of shareholders, mass layoffs and probably either the end of the brand or a restructured version that will be a shell of its former self.
Btw speaking of Elon, he was in a very similar spot this time last year. Mass exodus advertisers dropping already bad financials of a cliff with looming interest payments.
> and in the end it's shareholders and tax payers who suffer
This makes it look like a good vs bad situation when in reality its an already bad situation where you multiple stakeholders fighting for who loses the least.
