Reply to comment by [deleted] in Do you know how to make $20B in the Tech business? by braddamit

Damn you’re that dense? This is a joke about LOSING money, using the initial $44 billion as a reference to Twitter and how Elon is tanking it.

Like, starting with $44 billion and losing $24 billion would net you the $20 billion in the joke. Does that clarify it for you?

Technically he is right as it says 'make' 20B not have or get or anything like that but the way he put it was still pretty douchey

No I get that. Technically that’s how it’s worded but I feel like a joke gets a little leeway. It came off like this:

Me: Knock, knock

Him: Who’s there?

Me: Banana

Him: HeY wAiT, bAnAnaS cAn’T tALk!!

I’m the context of this joke, it depends on how much of the original $100 was lost, while you made the $20.

Get it? It’s a JOKE, not a grammar test.

I bet you’re fun at parties…
