> Maybe twitter is a unique case because of other factors - Elon?

really, you think that a rapid change of leadership preceded by an extended legal battle is MAYBE a unique situation? Elon is very clearly one of the most erratic ceos of a 10b+ public company right now

customers and employees are uncertain about the future because the ceo and controlling shareholder seems to change his mind every day about twitter's product, company culture, and general philosophy every single day. if he laid off nobody it would still be mayhem.

> You can absolutely find a buyer instantly! At about the same price it traded for five minutes ago! Just not at the price you need it to be.

this is extremely stupid. you can't just sell arbitrary amounts of coin without moving the market a ton and paying a fortune in slippage. they do need liquidity.
