I wasn’t going to write about this, but so many requests and contacts have come in, and considering that my background conversations with people are leading to actionable positioning, that I feel it is only fair to share publicly what I am analyzing privately.
The predicate for all assumptions is several fold: {Go Deep One} and {Go Deep Two}. Most of the financial groundwork for analysis already exists. In summary, Elon paid $44 billion for the platform. Current valuations are around $15 billion. Current debt service is $1.5 billion/yr (roughly $100m/mo). Current expenses include $100m/yr AWS, $100m/yr Goog cloud (both contracts), +payroll and misc.
Approximately 9 months ago, Musk had $1 billion in cash reserve for Twitter. The burn rate deficit was roughly $100m/month. That put timeline estimates for an inflection point on/around October 2023. It is now October 2023.
