"Had he waited half a year he probably could have gotten a $10 billion discount" It's Twitter, so it had to have been bought by impulse. If there was only a way to parlay that impulsiveness into a profitable product.

I’m confused when people talk about this. If he had waited a year, wouldn’t the price of the stock he sold to pay for Twitter also have gone down? And the interest rate on the loans he got would have gone up? Curious if anyone has done a second order analysis on the purchase timing.
