Elon Musk recently told employees Twitter equity is now worth $20 billion, far less than he paid. Good luck with even that. I estimate EV at little more than $13 billion in debt. So what's he up to?
That comment 'I've been doing this for 20 years and I've never seen management blow up a company so fast' is PRICELESS.
By the way, do we know the identity of the new 'Investments' recently appearing on Tesla's balance sheet such as oh, I don't know, the Twitter high yield paper that the participating banks from the leveraged buyout are desperate to offload?
Tesla reported in its 10-K Short Term "investments" at year end included $4.253 billion in CDs and time deposits, which I'm keeping an eye on in light of the companies new tax obligations in China starting this year as well as my concern that Elon may start draining Tesla's cash to fund Twitter. I'm also watching the $2.86 billion sequential drop in cash held overseas in Q4, which tracked the $2.5 billion sequential decline in CFFO ex unusual (e.g. energy credit revs) as China profits dropped.
Hi Ms. Bryan...

Thanks for reading and glad you enjoyed it!
