    Jack Dorsey sure kept a lot of stake in his company after handing the reigns over to people who would never understand how to run it

      TBH he even started a concurrent of it, so he probably expected Twitter to lose value

      As r/wallstreetbets will tell you, it’s only a loss once you sell, so just hold onto the stock forever and it doesn’t count.

      All jokes aside, the platform formerly known as Twitter’s revenue has collapsed recently, so these investors won’t be seeing anywhere near the return on their investment that they should be seeing. This will sting.

      And the people still allow it because double posting to mastodon is just too hard. Maybe Facebook will save them.

    Meh, those people will write it down and use it to offset any other taxes they need to pay.
