because it wasn't worth that much. But he's made it stupid and even less valuable than it ever was, and now he's stuck with either trying to finance it or sell it, and either way he'll lose a ton of money. That's what's stupid.

He chose to not do good. What a waste of money and energy.

Has anyone smart predicted its demise? And what would the demise of twitter look like? Just random thoughts.
