1. Just so you know....X is What the former location ..."Twitter" is now called.

Musk has acknowledged he overpaid for Twitter, which he bought for $44 billion, including $33.5 billion in equity. More recently, he said Twitter is worth less than half what he paid for it. It's unclear how Fidelity arrived at its new, lower valuation or whether it receives any non-public information from the company.

So Musk tweeting his antisemitism on Twitter could devalue Twitter even more.
.....Musk is as "stupid as Trump." Twitter could become worthless as many choose to go elsewhere due to Elon Musk..

I don't use Twitter...I use "Democratic Undergound" as my source for news. (as well as other places on the internet)

Paid 44 billion. Now reportedly worth 4 billion BootOutTheGoons Nov 2023 #7
4 Billion Is Too Low ProfessorGAC Nov 2023 #10
I've heard claims ranging from 4 billion to around 10 BootOutTheGoons Nov 2023 #11

Pausing them? How about cancelling all ad buys already made and in the future? n/t Liberal In Texas Nov 2023 #14
They could, indeed; Elon knows they don't want to do business with X markets, and it could be permanent. ancianita Nov 2023 #23
So, this is already happening, and X is now becoming ...WORTHLESS. Stuart G Nov 2023 #29
Hahahaha. Musk stikes and weakens X again. Let's face it, he's an anti-Semitic, racist, Putin-favoring winger. brush Nov 2023 #31
