You can disagree but you're wrong. Twitter is the definition of a stagnant company.

The stock has gone nowhere since its IPO and Twitter has never paid a dividend. It has revenue of $5bn but cannot seem to turn a meaningful profit and is not growing.

So far it has been a massive failure for shareholders, who are the stakeholders that the board and management are actually there to serve.

This is a terribly short-sighted and impoverished definition of stagnation. If Elon shakes things up and Twitter generates 2x the profit and 2x the social destruction as Facebook would you call them a vibrant and successful concern?


If things were radically different would I describe Twitter differently? Yes.

Is Twitter currently generating twice the profit of Facebook? No. Pretty straightforward.
