Elon Musk is applying his masterful cost cutting, he did at Twitter, to our US Government.
How do we pair him up with a guy who went bankrupt 5 times to solve the US debt problems.
CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • In September 2024, the Washington Post reported that the overall stake of Musk and his partners has lost $24 billion in value.

  • The brand value of Twitter has also declined. In 2022, Brand Finance valued Twitter at $5.7 billion, but by 2024, that value had fallen to $673.3 million.
  • In 2024, X earned about $1.25 billion in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Interest alone, in 2024, was 1.3 billion.
  • Revenue
    In 2023, X's revenue was $3.4 billion, a 22% decline from 2022. This was due in part to a sharp drop in advertising revenue.

  • Debt
    X has a large debt burden. Some of the banks that loaned Musk money to buy Twitter are looking to sell that debt.

  • User trust
    Musk's controversial changes to the platform, including his "free speech" approach, have caused trust issues for users and advertisers.

Yep, he took over Twitter, cut loads of jobs, 80%

The first year he had a 45% decrease in ad revenue.

After it's first full year the value of the company was 1/5th what it had been when he bought it.

Things have gotten slightly better since, he's paying less in wages and getting revenue back a bit. But people aren't using Twitter as much. He's essentially killed it.

So, that's something for the US to look forward to, being killed off by Musk.
 
You can project the size of the upcoming DOGE recession based on what Twitter DOGE caused to happen.

6 months in we will see falling GDP for 18 mos and a huge loss in value and world respect if it follows twitters results. Awesome. Can’t wait.

Musk saved the Free World when he overpaid for Twitter and exposed the Fascist working of the US government

Many very rich people are frauds and evil. Very rich and powerful people leave many unhappy people in their wake.
