Musk destroyed 80% of Twitter's value, but the ROI was great for his personal brand (like it or not).

And that's what buying it was really about.



I agree to some extent, but that’s a completely different point than I made.

The point I made is that firing 80% of the workforce was not showing other CEOs that that is such a value generating move (as the person above me implied).
