    Value of X has fallen 71% since purchase by Musk and name change from
    Twitter

    If X was his only company, this would not have happened.

    Well done, sir!

    My vote for best article of the year is that one posted earlier showing
    how the magic/shine has come off Musk, who has now made his shortcomings
    so very public. Giving this guy a platform/megaphone was only going to
    be a disaster, and it was.

    But, I can only wonder what those other X investors think about his
    behavior. The elites hate seeing their dirty laundry being exposed,
    but for those who invested in X, is this what they wanted?

    Its been suggested that Musk is quite "liberal" at releasing IP info,
    etc., to foreigners whose dirty laundry has been exposed on X.
