> I may be wrong on the finances then, as I had read on how Twitter was sinking in debt and Elon didn't know how bad it was, hence the firing. I thought most of the money came as investments from companies/people.

Where on earth did you read that? Like, I mean, (a) it’s not correct (it has a lot of debt now due to debt taken out as part of the leveraged buyout, but it didn’t before) and (b) it _could not be correct_; Twitter was a public company! Musk absolutely knew its financial situation before the takeover, or at least had no excuse for not knowing it. Anyone could just look that up; it’s part and parcel of being a public company. Is there some sort of Musk fanfiction financial news website that publishes this stuff or something?

Anyway, wherever you read that, I would be _extremely_ sceptical of anything else it writes, if I were you.
