Without Elon Musk’s Purchase of 9.2% of Twitter Stock Price Would Show Negative Growth Since Company Went Public

An investment of $1,000 in Twitter stock upon its public offering in 2013 is today worth $1,080, hardly a stellar performance, and had Musk not bought 9.2% of Twitter stock recently, that $1,000 investment in 2013 would be worth today about $700, so Musk is the white knight.
