Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 Christ, now I really wished I lived in the EU: Musk considers removing X platform from Europe over EU law - Insider | Reuters WWW.REUTERS.COM Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, is considering removing the service formerly called Twitter from Europe in response to a new internet platform regulation in the region, news site Insider reported on Wednesday. Quote Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, is considering removing the service formerly called Twitter from Europe in response to a new internet platform regulation in the region, news site Insider reported on Wednesday. The billionaire has discussed removing the app's availability in the region, or blocking users in the European Union from accessing it, a person familiar with the company told the publication. The European Union in August adopted the Digital Services Act (DSA), which sets forth rules for preventing the spread of harmful content, banning or limiting certain user-targeting practices, and sharing some internal data with regulators and associated researchers, among other things. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Everyone at the banks who approved the financing of this debacle should be fired: Quote X, the company formerly known as Twitter, told employees in an internal note today that the company is worth $19 billion, down from the $44 billion Elon Musk paid for it a year ago. 3 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 The valuation is based on an employee equity award plan: X valued at $19 billion in share plan for employees - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM A steep drop from Musk’s $44 billion purchase price. Quote Everyone knew that Twitter wasn’t worth $44 billion when Elon Musk bought it a year ago. Now, we know what Musk himself thinks it’s worth today: $19 billion. On Monday, employees at X were awarded equity in the company at a valuation of $19 billion, or $45 per share, according to internal documents seen by The Verge. That price is a 55 percent discount to Musk’s original purchase price, per the documents, which note that “the fair market value per share is determined by the Board of Directors based on a number of factors in a manner that complies with applicable tax rules.” (Musk is X’s chair and has yet to create a formal board.) Since he took over Twitter, Musk has said that he wants to model the company’s compensation plan after SpaceX, which is also privately held but lets employees regularly cash out a portion of their shares to outside investors. The type of equity X is giving employees is called restricted stock units, or RSUs. These RSUs are earned over a period of four years from their grant date and require a “liquidity event,” such as an IPO or sale of the company, to be taxed as income, the internal documents explain. (Fortune first reported that X was valuing itself at $19 billion.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
