Yeah but does that really compare to a single man destroying a $44 Billion dollar company?

He threw $44 billion at it for the right to destroy it. It wasnt worth that much.

He actually threw $44 billion at it because he's a fucking idiot who wanted to manipulate stock prices and then was masterfully forced into the purchase by Twitter's legal team.

However, yes, he has since been destroying it, likely to the benefit of investors such as the Saudis.

was masterfully forced into the purchase by Twitter's legal team.

He then fired them all, against the law, with no severance.

Yeah this ratio is lame. Pretty sure me and like one other guy could probably destroy at least a $800 million dollar company.
