Market cap of Twitter was $41B, Musk overpaid at $44B,
Fidelity valued it at $9.4B late last year.
xAI paid $33B for it this year.
So this is a significantly worse overpay.
This is just his left hand paying his right so he can claim Twitter's value is comparable to what he initally paid for it. He's getting fixated on people talking about his losses again, and is getting ready to call someone a pedo on main again.
It's all to defraud investors. The SEC isn't going to touch him, and when the earnings report for Tesla is due I bet it's going to show that the woke libtards were wrong and Tesla sales actually quadrupled in the past 4 months.
Yes, but about $14 billion was financed by debt rather than shares of stock, so the market cap immediately dropped to $30B as a result (enterprise value is market cap + outstanding debt because in a liquidation the debt would be paid out of the assets before the shareholders get anything). So in a sense, the current shares were worth about $30B at the time of the 2022 transaction.
If this new merger is a private transaction that values X at $33B and xAI at $80B, and everyone agrees, it's functionally the same as if it were worth $3.3B and $8B.
It went up after the election. Last valuation was back to $44B. It not about Twtter's valuation, it's about Tesla stock price. I don't understand the scam but I'm pretty sure he had to refinance his loan somehow because Tesla stock dropped.
