These loans have nothing to do with twitters value though. The question is will musk pay the debt off, not whether twitter will become more valuable. Right after the deal was done investors wondered musk might just let the loans default and give twitter to his creditors, but now that it seems so important to him politically he is less likely to do that.

Of course it does! Why do you think Elon was complaining about the article so much?

I am less sure that x means anything to musk. I could absolutely see him shut it down in a fit of anger.

Although that's based on a very distant view of his actions, maybe in private he's 100% on board.

I don't know, for the past few years Elon has seemed more passionete about trolling on Twitter than literally anything else in the world. One of the first changes after the purchase was to make it so that his tweets got special rules so they show up to everyone whether they like it or not. He currently posts on it a gazillion times per day.

Maybe in the future his attention will drift elsewhere, in which case yeah he'll let the company die without a second thought, but we don't seem to be anywhere near that point these days.

Well, will it still be valuable at bond maturity, the main question
