Wrestleknownothing Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 How long before Musk takes Twitter/X public again? It has to bug him that Fidelity is valuing it at 30 cents on the dollar and he has no rebuttal. Musk has a demonstrated history of success with moving the prices of publicly traded assets with his attention/Tweets/ownership. So, why not do it again with Twitter/X?
