Yes that's exactly why their value dropped. Because value isn't the present value of the business. It's the future competitiveness and innovation they bring to the table. Twitter has none of that anymore. There's no hope for growth, a new product, etc.

Exactly why the value dropped was advertiser pullout due to a partisan pressure campaign. Which was not a free campaign in terms of political currency.
