He announced that he was looking for a CEO straight after acquisition. Twitter hasn't been profitable for 11 years straight from 2006 to 2017 and even after that it revenue was relatively low. Atm company is financially break even, so I wouldn't panic much. It's kinda funny that some US advertisers left the platform after some rednecks were unbanned, yet they were totally okay with things before when Taliban and other state terrorist organizations were literally using it as an official PR platform (with huge success btw, if you read the articles of that time). Or the fact that Twitter has been flooded with porn made by teenagers. But that's typical corporate America))

Do you have a source for this? All I can find is an interview remark from Musk about the company "roughly breaking even," without any actual numbers cited.


He said profitable then clarified to cash-flow positive in the BBC interview, so likely losing money after servicing the debt he strapped them with.
