It was never worth $44 Billion. He's just a moron who overpaid because he's a moron. Forced into a deal because he's a moron.

Funny thing is one might assume, "well Musk is still the richest guy in America, he has more money than he can ever spend anyway, maybe he just doesn't give a fuck that he blew $36 billion on a poor investment" but even that notion is debunked by how desperately he's trying to nickel and dime the community with Twitter Blue subscriptions.

The goal was never to make money I think the goal was to manipulate the stock market again but he flew too close to the sun and had to buy Twitter.
