Twitter just took itself private for 42 billion dollars. I'd say it was run very, very competently. Hall-of-fame leadership, really.

I totally agree, Twitter’s old management pulled off one of the greatest moves in the history of corporate America.

They dumped a falling asset, at peak price and got Musk to sign terms that completely fucked him.

Honestly, it was completely brilliant and the only thing anyone learned is that Musk isn’t the business genius he claims to be.

He’s going to destroy that platform with utter stupidity and I’m looking forward to watching.

What a ridiculous take. Twitter was run so competently that it has managed to grow to a company with hundreds of millions of daily active users and can’t figure out how to make a profit.

And they successfully baited a complete loon to buy it for 10X what it was worth.

How does profit help the shareholders in a way that an inflated stock price to exit at doesn't?

Their strategy was to piss really rich people off enough that they’d just buy the company outright?

I dunno, that seems like a pie in the sky.

Plus, how many times were they hacked? Lately by a child.
