    It’s not worth $20b. That was his own estimation, and remember step 2.

    Fidelity estimates its worth to be much lower.

      Rome didn't fall in a day. Or a year.

      Takes a lot longer than most people think.

      If nothing else, this shows just how well architected and built the original Twitter infrastructure was. Being able to withstand the chaos monkey that is Musk should be its own SLA tier.

        You know, that’s quite a beautiful way of thinking about it.

    This is assuming the goal wasn't to casually kill Twitter by a thousand cuts. I would think, that if I was Mohammed bin Salman, that I wouldn't want $22B of my hard earned oil money wasted on bad management. Surely Elon will have to pony up the money for the ROI for MBS at some point if MBS' only stake in Twitter was the money.
