$1bn, the exact amount of debt interest Twitter now has to pay off after Musk saddled it with so much debt.

So much of this feels like such a waste. I don’t have any problem with the idea of someone taking Twitter private in order to fix it. But with this kind of debt financing and with a CEO that doesn’t seem to understand the company (and tried to get out of buying it)…

The risk for Twitter isn’t that it might go down for some periods of time.

The risk is that if it starts going down on a regular basis and/or performance is degraded, a competitor could swoop in and clean their clocks.

This might be a good time for Google to start Google+ again as an independent product one needs to sign in and create a new account for.
