      Top shareholders of Twitter include:

      1. Elon Musk (owns 78.7% of the company)
      2. Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal (5.7%)
      3. Oracle’s founder Larry Ellison (3.0%)

      WTF they really need to relocate the evil lair in a volcano

          Musk himself is a Russian connection, remember he is friendly with Putin.

      That’s true, but I’d imagine running a site like twitter actively costs money. If advertisers aren’t paying, who is? Do they go to their investors and ask for money? For how long could Elon personally afford to run Twitter with all of its development costs?
