Elon Musk's problems at Twitter, Tesla prove his luck has run out

Buying Twitter was the biggest gamble of Musk's career. Now he — and his empire — are cracking under the pressure.

@AAronL1968 say no to any future #bankbailout because it is Elong and Trump’s fault.
@AAronL1968 I hope those bankers sue Musk for their money back. Or get fired for fucking up.

The #DarkBrandon move would be to nationalize Twitter, federate it with ActivityPub, and call it a true public square.

Best thing would be for them to demand takeover. It should be clear it's circling the drain now.

Wall Street should be thoroughly embarrassed. According to reports, the banks holding Twitter's debt are already expecting to take a $2 billion hit when they can finally sell it off. It's not hard to see why. I've said from the jump that there was no money in this Twitter venture, and no principles either. Musk was always going to turn Twitter into a reflection of his limited view, his "Earth" — as he put it during his manic rambling at Dealbook — not a place for the average user. I never expected Musk's fanboys to understand that, but I did expect bankers who are supposed to understand who pays for what in a media business to get it. In the end, there's a real chance Wall Street investors will wind up owning the shambolic mess that is Twitter/X. One of the few blessings to come from this fiasco is that when that happens, at least they'll know what not to do with it.
