Twitter is worth a lot less than what it's trading for. Musk's bid is rather idiotically high. Twitter's shareholders will be desperate if they start to see the full mauling that other prominent, hyper overvalued tech stocks have enjoyed lately. They will take a lower offer accordingly, whether that's from Musk or other. The stock is going into the $20s if they don't take an acquisition offer from someone.

Well, it was either $54.20 or $69.00 (I suppose he could have gone for $44.20 but would that have tempted anyone?)

A real meme-lord would bid $42.069

Twitters P/E ratio is 186.12!

The incoming cashflow is substantial and if they simply cut off the R&D it would be a very profitable company.

Generally most of software development (including what you would think of as maintenance) is counted as R&D for tax purposes
