Is this company still worth "billions" with a b?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

With a b, probably. With an s, less clear.

Sillions.

If you ask the people remaining on it, it's with a "t".
If you ask everybody else...

I think it's worth like $16 billion now? Which compared to the $44 billion purchasing price is... does caculations not good

I thought I just saw in the last day or so that it could actually be worth as little as $4B now.

It really wouldn't surprise me when you're pricing in where the company might end up in a few quarters from now. He hasn't even owned it that long and has already managed to do so much harm.
