Reply to comment by SilasX in Taliban start buying blue ticks on Twitter by koavf

He lost all that money because he bought Twitter: that is Twitter's true cost of ownership.

That’s not the right way to account for it. It’s one party’s loss because of semi related events. Not everyone who participated in the twitter purchase suffered a share of the $200 bn loss, only of the $43 bn loss.

You are wrong, since every everyone who paid $44 billion to own Twitter also lost a total of $200 billion.

Nobody paid $44 bn. It was jointly financed across multiple parties.

And even if Musk had out put up $44 bn, it doesn’t mean the other losses were attributable solely to that purchase. The Tesla price fluctuations were not entirely due to the sale of Musk’s shares, for example.
