I keep wondering what was the asset that Elon bought that was worth $44B? The brand? No, he flushed that down the toilet. The technology? No, he was crapping all over that from day one. The staff? No, he fired most of them. Twitter had no real estate. What was THE THING he paid $44B for?

The only guess I can make is the private jet tracker, which he Streisanded into a subreddit where it will live forever. Lmao.

LOL i follow that guy on Threads now. So poor use of $44B!

The user base so he can do his fantasy payment system.

I guess the user base. But he was also shitting all over that saying it was mostly bots. You could say it was a strategy to bring the price down, but he still paid $44B so that didn't work.
