That's what X is valuing itself at, not what it's worth. We'll get a better sense of what it's worth when it goes back on the market or goes bankrupt, whichever happens first. Right now I have a hard time imagining anyone would pay that much for it. For context Snapchat, which has had a lot more success with advertising lately, is worth about $16 billion.

Is this just part of the playbook for him to not have to pay taxes by saying he lost all his money??

Is that before or after you factor in the $13 billion debt it took on to buy itself on Musk's behalf?

[-] lorez@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Works hard to forward his companies like X which lost billions in value cos of his stupidity? Where's his Hyperloop? I wouldn't buy a Tesla if it were the only car in existence. I'm even tired of his name.

Does Musk have a short position we don’t know about?

[-] kale@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

He took it private so, although there can be shares, they aren't traded on the open market. So no positions to short.
