Down 24% and counting!

We are witnessing a former president lose like a quarter of his net worth in real time. It’s kind of amazing!

@ernie unsure. the SPAC basically handed him billions of dollars in prospective value via stock. he can lose nearly all of that in stock price terms and still personally cash out positive. meanwhile the company itself may run at a loss but it now has a massive cash reservoir so brace for a few more years of "truth"

I might be wrong due to unfamiliarity with SPACs and lots of unclear reporting on amounts and ownership and details, but that's my read

@turgon @ernie
Who would he cash out to?
Wouldn’t that crater the stock?

(Admittedly, I know little about the stock market, like his fanboys).

@blabberlicious @ernie I can't even tell you why people wanted to invest $6B in this thing that loses $58M per quarter, which they surely knew

@turgon @blabberlicious They invested in a loud guy’s swagger.
