[Mike Masnick: Elon Starts Bribing His Biggest Fans as He Admits the Company Is Still Burning Cash](https://www.techdirt.com/2023/07/17/elon-starts-bribing-his-biggest-fans-as-he-admits-the-company-is-still-burning-cash-despite-his-earlier-claims-to-the-contrary/?ref=birchtree.me)

> The more interesting bit here, though, was him admitting that the company was “still negative cash flow.” Remember, in February, he had said the company was “[trending to breakeven](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/05/elon-musk-says-twitter-trending-to-breakeven-after-near-bankruptcy.html?ref=birchtree.me)” and in April had suggested that [it was now there](https://www.reuters.com/technology/elon-musk-says-twitter-is-roughly-breaking-even-2023-04-12/?ref=birchtree.me). That April statement included him claiming that “most” advertisers had returned to Twitter, which Musk is now effectively admitting was a lie. And, his prediction that the company would be “cash flow positive” in the 2nd quarter didn’t quite pan out, I guess.

Literally never trust Elon on anything he says about things
