In fairness, he's done quite a bit in 2 weeks to destroy the value of the company. The Paul Pelosi tweet probably sunk the company by itself.

A lot of the financing was put together when he bought the company earlier in the year. Things have changed since then (recession fears, high interest rates).

The Saudis and Chinese on the other hand just wanted access to Twitter to root out dissidents. I don't think they care much about the actual return on investment.
