Elon already paid cash or has other investors in Twitter. I know he sold Tesla stock leading up to the purchase. SpaceX alone is worth over $100B. So I do not see the reason for Commentary pessimism. Consider there was probably a monopoly deal between Google and Twitter to keep Twitter out of the YouTube video service business. Now, with Elon there is no such deal. Twitter can add features for video providers to post and share their content on twitter. An improved Twitter can end up being worth much more than Elon paid for it.
