Musk’s repeated outbursts against advertisers have dried up the main source of revenue for the loss-making company formerly known as Twitter. A recent decision to sue them for heeding his own advice to not buy ads on the platform hasn’t helped. At some point, he will have to provide a fresh infusion of cash to salvage his $44 billion takeover.
Why is this news…
Some rich guy might do something that doesn’t really change anything for anyone.
Potential Tesla stock price crash aside - if he sells enough stock, the company will be less associated with him and people on the left (you know, people who actually WANT EVs and not coal rollin’ pickup trucks) would be more likely to buy Teslas again. Because to be fair, they do make some damn awesome powertrains (and attach an aerodynamic smart fridge to it unfortunately, but eh, you can’t have everything all at once, now can you)
Twitter used to be very widely used.
Tesla, at least in the US is by far the biggest EV manufacturer
They’re both a pretty big deal and he’s well on his way to wrecking one: we hope it’s not both
