    I still need a little guidance here so I can understand. Let’s say Twitter did go bankrupt, then what would happen? Would Elon be off the hook for the billions of dollars he owes to his financers?

      I don’t recall the specifics of the one article I read about this, but yes, I think being able to declare bankruptcy gives an out for at least some of the debt. I believe there was also some way that doing so protected Tesla but can’t recall exactly how that worked.

      This just doesn’t seem like a “he’s just bad at running a company” situation. A company of Twitter’s age and maturity could have run itself for quite some time if Elon just let it continue on. He’s doing this intentionally for some self-serving reason.
