Just realized something about X - everyone asks how to invest in it but honestly you can't unless you're loaded or running an institution. Elon took it private back in 2022 for 44 billion, which basically means the rest of us are locked out. Before that it was on NYSE as TWTR but once Musk consolidated enough shares through that tender offer thing, boom - it went private. Now it's just held by him and some big firms like BlackRock and Vanguard. The whole point of going private was to avoid SEC requirements and do whatever, but that also means regular people trying to invest in X are just out of luck. You'd need to be an accredited investor or somehow know someone holding shares to even have a shot at buying any. Pretty wild that a platform with millions of users is completely off-limits for retail investors. I guess if you really want exposure you could look at other public social media companies instead, but direct investment in X? Yeah, that's not happening for most of us. The company's making money from ads and those premium subscriptions now, but none of that trickles down to regular investors. Kind of makes you think about how much control gets concentrated with private companies.
