Any % each of those owners actually own? For me that would be the most important aspect of ownership
$1.89bn (~4%) from Prince Alwaleed
$1bn (~2%) from Jack Dorsey,
$500m from Ellison,
$300m from Fidelity,
... and so on.
ps. Alwaleed has also invested $400 million into xAI
Lately I've been thinking that the Chinese had a good point with their great firewall. The EU is already banning Russian media perhaps we should ad Americans to the list.
I'm still convinced that Elon took a deal to deliberately burn twitter to the ground. I'm unsure how we'd prove it but his behaviour makes little sense otherwise.
He's doing his damndest (while self fellating himself on it) to destroy that non market-cap value.
Say somebody comes up to you and says hey, nice jacket. Would you like to sell it to me for $5,000? You bought the jacket for $500, and it was mass produced and you can just buy another one with that money. sounds like a great deal! But if I add that we're in Boston and it's winter and we're outside, miles from shelter, and it's snowing. Suddenly, sellling your winter coat is a way worse idea and not worth making $4,950.
Americans have long held this belief that prices are prices. If I buy a can of beans, it should be the same price if you buy the can of beans instead of me. But in reality, prices are totally made up. Hopefully the price of something is greater than it cost to make it, along with all the other expenses, so the business can remain open and continue, but businesses that go out of business have to sell their items at a loss. Which makes their inventory worth exactly as much as people are willing to pay, usually at a discount.
Sure, he wanted a better deal, but there's only one Twitter, and it's his (plus a bunch of investors and Fidelity). He didn't overpay for anything, he gets to run it how he wants, now that it's his.
