> Musk has shown that you can profitably run a software company with 80% less staff

Is this a fact? Now that x is private do we know if they are profitable or not?

Musk didn't buy Twitter to make it profitable. He bought because he felt freedom of speech was being cratered by the previous owners and moderators of the platform.

He offered to buy it because he was mad at one of his kids for changing their gender, and then got stuck because he couldn't get out of the offer.

Freedom of speech then got worse because he fired all the legal team.
