You saw the investor list, right? There’s a LOT of people on there who miiiiight not consider direct financial profitability to be the point of their investment.
Top shareholders of Twitter include:
WTF they really need to relocate the evil lair in a volcano
There’s also a bunch of Russian connections too
Musk himself is a Russian connection, remember he is friendly with Putin.
That's true, but I'd imagine running a site like twitter actively costs money. If advertisers aren't paying, who is? Do they go to their investors and ask for money? For how long could Elon personally afford to run Twitter with all of its development costs?
