Nearly two years after Elon Musk’s acquisition, X’s business is still struggling to climb out of the deep hole it fell into under his ownership.
The $13 billion that Elon Musk borrowed to buy Twitter has turned into the worst merger-finance deal for banks since the 2008-09 financial crisis.
The seven banks involved in the deal, including Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, lent the money to the billionaire’s holding company to take the social-media platform, now named X, private in October 2022. Banks that provide loans for takeovers generally sell the debt quickly to other investors to get it off their balance sheets, making money on fees.
Sounds like sacrificed a few billionaires this time.
I hope our watery god is satisfied, if not. I guess we have sacrifice a few more billionaires.
I think we should advertise small boat sailing to Elon, combined with the beauty of the Gibraltar strait area and the manliness of doing it alone.
We can give Poseidon a break and let the orcas have one.
Twist: The Orcas are working for Poseidon.
Yes, but delegation.
That’s why Poseidon is a god and I’m just a schlub.
