Hilarious to watch bleeding heart Liberals not just own it. Shows how embarrassed they are of their own party. Funny stuff!
Still the richest person in the world. My link was to a real-time tracker.
You're like a 3 year old. Think you know everything, but can't comprehend simple comments
Back at you bro. Half his value lost would seem to indicate he is capable of making some bad decisions.
Lost half and still has more than anyone else.
Where do you live where it’s already night? Nerd.
But seriously, seeing people so upset in arms about effing who cares Twitter? It was an awful platform where people just slang insults at each other all day, why do you want that back? You all just can’t NOT argue.
Why do you come here then? Practically every thread devolves into people arguing and insulting people over **** that doesn't matter.
I see more arguing and insulting on here every day just by looking at one thread than I do in a whole day's worth of browsing my Twitter feed. And that's not even counting the nearly 14,000 page political thread that is every bit as bad of a cesspool of uncivilized behavior (from both ends of the political spectrum, I might add!) as any other legal gathering place on the internet.
When I was a kid there was an old timer. Had one eye. Tobacco farmer. Drove a beat up pickup truck that always had a mangy dog tied to the bed of it when he’d show up to drink his coffee at the store in the morning with the rest of the old timers. Didn’t trust banks and when he died he probably had buried 300k in his backyard in mason jars. They never did find it all and his greedy *** relatives dug that place up looking for it.
That’s the kind of businessman I can appreciate.

Guy is funny. He 100% of the time snarks at anything Conservative and at the same time says he's not partisan. "Who me??"
LOL! Pathetic.
Only if you sell... I bought stock at $10 that went to $5. I didn't lose $5. I kept the stock for a year and sold at $15 and profited $5. He hasn't lost anything 'yet' except the daily operating losses.
Tesla went down because the entire tech sector is getting crushed. Look at Amazon and Facebook. Under your thinking Bezon and Zuckerberg are morons.
Nope. Your net worth isn’t based on historical cost.
His has only lost value. It may go back up but in the case of Twitter most smart economists I’ve read seem to doubt it has any ability to ever generate enough revenue to recoup the losses much less double the value.
Teslas stock price was directly impacted by the Twitter deal. And a lot of people are questioning Zuckerbergs all in approach to the Metaverse so again time will tell. I don’t think they’re morons. I think they’re humans which makes them vulnerable to making bad decisions just like any of us are.
Net worth is opinion anyway. It's not a loss until he sells it or shuts it down for a loss. People look at net worth too much now a days and not income. It's one of the things I used to question about Elon because Tesla didn't start making money until about 5 years ago. It was running on invested money. It was the same with his rockets... it was just burning cash. Now both those are actually making money. At any point public sentiment could of turned against them and dropped the value but as long as he had enough cash to operate until he started making a profit then it doesn't matter.
He isn't a day trader.
It went down slightly on the deal but it went down further with the entire tech sector. There is a reason dozens of tech co's are doing layoffs right now.
It lost 12% the day after the deal was announced. That is not slightly.
So you appreciate a businessman who makes money and never does anything with it only for it to be lost for all of human civilization instead of doing something productive, constructive, or beneficial with it? ANd the family is there greedy one?
Net worth is opinion insomuch as value is opinion. There are prescribed methods for preparing a personal financial statement. The only way its “not a loss because he hasn’t sold it” is for tax purposes which is completely irrelevant to the discussion.
ALl I know is my Apple stock is up 50.99% from when I bought it. I wish I could have afforded to buy more when I did.
Guarantee he makes out well on Twitter and I guess that's why everyone is taking this opportunity to go after him since he'll get the last laugh and they'll have to find someone else to hate on.
No sympathy for twitter employees who pushed for people to be canceled or worse.
Punished prople who dared question the covid cult. See how they like it.

This is what I was trying to say. He lost net worth but not actual cash money.
I get it and it’s really moot at this point but you said “he hasn’t lost anything” not the above.
All I know is this world would not work if not for people like Musk who have the brains, guts and work ethic to make things that gives people jobs that supports their families and communities. Accumulates more wealth than all of us combined will make in our lifetimes and yet he did not take the money and run but just works harder.
I come here for GYERO, the other threads are just time killers. People like you on both sides is what makes the internet a ******** that’s hardly sufferable to normal not way too into politics types of people.
Congrats on being part of the problem though!
Yep. Good thing we have super geniuses like musk. I guess chroix too since he claims to be as smart
Just want to tell A few of you who obviously haven’t got a clue about the real world other than your fake news ******** and made up theories….
The VAST majority, like almost all, mega wealthy people did not inherit.
Sorry to destroy your political points used in each cycle.
