  4.4 billion in 2022 (When Elon made bid and took over company)
  3.4 billion in 2023
  2.6 billion in 2024
  2.9 billion in 2025

What's the operational cost now? 10K to 2K employees. 30 Engineers.

It doesn’t cost much to keep the lights on. As far as I know, X post-acquisition is not investing in innovation anymore.

Musk might have been right that shifting to KTLO mode was a good idea, but the company would still be better off if someone other than him had bought it and done the same thing.
