Surely, it has to be up there with the worst business decisions ever.

Twitter is one of the most inefficient companies in the world
Most users on Twitter are not even real, they're all bots
Twitter has extreme security concerns
Twitter going bankrupt is a real possibility

All quotes by the man who then proceeded shortly after to buy Twitter at an inflated price

Unlikely to make it into the top 10, but probably in the top 100.

That was supposed to happen last Nov. according to the twitnews squad. Twitter is going nowhere.

France selling us Louisiana was actually not that big of a mistake. It's just that America doesn't really teach anything about history so it comes across as a "lololo, France so dumb" transaction.

he bought a massive amount of data from the formative years of almost every american millennial for 35m, not a bad deal except for that nasty data loss

not nearly as bad a trade as news corp buying it just before it went into decline

but the king of "bad business decisions" is yahoo

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Uh he paid over $27 billion himself, got about $5 billion equity from investors and Twitter took on about $13 billion in debt to fund the remainder.
