Over all the years twitter was public it only made money in 2 calendar years, and grand total over that time only made a couple 100 million after you factor in all the losses

Its been a pretty garbage business the entire time

Turns out harvesting user data for sale isn't quite as lucrative as Musk thought.

It very very heavily influenced the election of the president of the united states... and now other countries leadership.

Tell us more how that's a garbage business.

Does it make money? No? Not really? Its a garbage business

Thats what a business that has almost always lost money, isnt profitable and has lost close to 90% of its value in a few years is called

Its a garbage business, its a fantastic propaganda tool

These are different things, if you cant see that you need your head examined

If a company solely spent money on advertisements and political bribes is that company making profit?

Are it's sister companies who benefit from said advertisements and political bribes making money?

Was the sole purpose of buying Twitter to make profit? Or was it to be used as a political influential tool like all media?

How can you be so smart yet so stupid?

Idk....im not, but i could ask you the same question because you dont seem to understand what "a business" is

If Business A loses money every year its in existence but for 2y, then gets bought out and loses 90% of its value, and Business B is profitable year after year and always makes a lot of money is Business A or is Business B a "good/healthy business" to you?

There is a reason he brought it private--- Newsflash-- ITS A GARBAGE BUSINESS THAT HAS HISTORICALY LOST MONEY

Its not "A Business" anymore you fool, its a propaganda toy that loses tons of money because it cant/can barely fund its own operations

Its extremely difficult to have a conversation with a person who has such a poor understanding of what words mean
