Elon Musk’s Twitter deal is ‘worst in Wall Street since financial crisis’
An analysis of lending data by the Wall Street Journal found that this was the longest time that major buyout loans had been “hung”, or unsold, since the collapse of Lehman Brothers triggered the 2008 financial crisis. The poor performance of the loans also contributed to a 40pc cut in bonuses at Barclays, according to the report. Mr Musk bought Twitter in November 2022 in what he has said was a mission to save free speech and defeat the “woke mind virus”. He has since renamed it X and cut the majority of staff, but the company’s value has declined dramatically. X told staff last year that the company was now valued at $19bn, less than half of Mr Musk’s purchase price.
