First step to becoming a billionaire: start with 1 trillion
Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price

I think the purchase was more about welding power than any financial gain

Hasn’t his wealth kinda flatlined lately though? X is doing terribly, Tesla is struggling a bit, I think SpaceX is at least doing well.
I don’t think he’s going to be a trillionaire any time soon.

Now, call me crazy, but if I was optimizing for maximum welding power, I’d start with oxy acetylene and at least try a few other options. How would buying a website even be a good start?
No wonder people are making fun of him!

He needs all the welding power he can get to keep the Tesla’s held together

Would you not agree that he has a tool of influence with X? I see that as the main aspect of why you’d still buy twitter, even though he knew he wouldn’t earn money with that.

He tried to back out, I don’t think any of this was about anything. He’s just a dick with a weird sense of humor.
