Musk's brutal acquisition of Twitter is showing up in Tesla. Could be evident that Twitter is leaking rapidly with loss of revenue. 50% of the workforce has been cut that also could be a wider trend of the tech sector begging mass layoffs. This is essentially a stagflation primer as inflation imbeds and unemployment grows.




While Elon Musk continues to revamp Twitter by chopping away large segments of its workforce (now at 50%), manly the moderation and computer algorithmic programmers that input data for Twitter's servers to scan hatful content, misinformation.  He is basically stripping the social media platform down to its bare bones, which would be recreating it from the bottom up.   This is the ruthless world of company acquisitions, hasn't changed and Musk is following the age old and capitalistically merciless blueprint of making Twitter a leaner company.  Will it work?   Hard to say, it is no longer a public company.  But the richest man is leaking from all sides, something gonna give and if Twitter in its interim of being revamped into a paleolibertarian/alt right echo chamber; he maybe heading towards a collision with U.S. congress.

Yet it is Musk's Tesla, which is bearing the brunt of short selling under the expectations that interest rates will continue to go up, hence higher export costs ala the U.S. Dollar.   In other words, the Tesla model's will be more expensive.  Hence affecting its revenue and bottom line of the electrical car company   The market, although it is coming to the realization that stagflation is going to be brutal in 2023, which is astounding that High Frequency Trading algorithm systems  have been been programed to 'source' the Fed Pivot'.  When current rates at 3.75% are way below any terminal or end point for the Federal Reserve, inflation is severely imbedded.  And evidence is pointing to higher unemployment and high cost of living = higher rates.  7+% cannot be ruled out

In summary.  Refer to Chart above.
