The joke doesn't really work. Musk's net worth is still at 191 billion.
The Twitter adventure hasn't come close to bankrupting him.

The joke works fine. Musk may be worth $191 billion but he could be
cash poor now. In other words, his bank account is empty.

I suspect that if he's *worth* $191 billion, he cantake out whatever
short term loans he needs for his immediate needs. And you can bet
that even if Twitter ends up in bankruptcy, it's a separate
corporation, which will protect his other wealth.

One worry I have is China leaning on him to make Twitter more
China-friendly. Tesla has a huge investment and market in China,
which gives them leverage.

Of course, that number relies on him being able to sell all of
his TSLA at the current market price. Which is not likely.

>The Twitter adventure hasn't come close to bankrupting him.

It certainly hasn't enhanced his reputation, such as it was.

I resemble that remark :-)

Nor with the people invested in TSLA stock.

I got in at day one (IPO day on the market)
which puts the cost basis at around $1.20/share after
both splits.

Good for you! I'm at about $30.

My AAPL stock has a cost basis of about $0.11/share, but that's
dumb luck.

I haven't been in AAPL for long; IIRC, the cost basis in in the $10.00/share range
after a couple splits.

VRSN, on the other hand, due to the return of capital when they spun
off the certificate business to symantec, has a cost basis of zero.

Lefties, who have begun to realize that Musk would rather kill
Twitter than let it continue to be leftist propaganda.

It's as real as any other article on that site.

It's just not /true/, being a satire.
