I think Elon should read up on what has happened in the past when you try and start a libertarian utopia. Lessons are to be learned.

The Town That Went Feral
When a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended. And then the bears moved in.

It's actually a different Colorado river. Don't ask me why they have the same name for two major rivers.

I wonder how much he can afford to spend on getting water rights and building an entire city. Paying the debt on Twitter seems to be taking a fair bit of cash and he can't keep selling Tesla stock forever.

He still has a net worth in the 10s of billions, doesn’t he?
Unfortunately he can probably remain solvent nearly as long as he can remain stupid.

But to access it he needs to sell stock, which has major side effects.

Actually him going broke is actually a lot easier than you'd think, it pretty much looks like what he's doing now, load up with debt then devalue the shares the debt is loaned against

Can Twitter go public again? Or is that out of the cards?

I read interest payments on what he owes when he bought twitter is 1.2 billion per year.
So I think next month he has to pay another 300 million.
I doubt twitter is making enough money to cover the interest debt, let alone operational costs.
unless the Saudi's bail him out, I wonder if he'll soon sell more stock.

Anyone who actually uses Twitter on the regular knows the site is performing like absolute garbage and chock full of stuff real advertisers run away from.
It's a sinking ship.
