Elon Musk has warned that a Twitter bankruptcy is a possibility

Twitter boss Elon Musk says bankruptcy is not out of the question as he attempts to make his mark on the social media platform.

Musk has reportedly held an all-hands meeting with Twitter employees, in an attempt to find solutions and breathe life back into into the company.

The new owner says his company has financial problems so serious that “bankruptcy is not out of the question”, if Twitter doesn’t start generating significantly more revenue.

Musk purchased the tech platform for a whopping $44 billion. He’s hoping it will have a “net negative cash flow of several billion dollars” by 2023.

He warned employees “without significant subscription revenue, there is a good chance Twitter will not survive the upcoming economic downturn”.

Musk claims Twitter is losing more than $4 million per day. This is as it suffers through a “massive drop in revenue” largely due to companies pausing advertisement deals.

Musk hopes a subscription model will heal Twitter’s financial woes.

The $8-per-month plan for blue ticks likely won’t make much of a dent in the company’s debt payments.

Major stock indices rise slightly; 10-year Treasury yield hits 4.23% amid Fed Chair speculation, affecting small and mega-cap stocks.

All major stock indices are starting the week slightly higher, giving investors cautious optimism. Analysts are keeping an eye on movements in small caps and mega-cap tech stocks amid these early gains.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has climbed to 4.23%, the highest since last September. This follows Kevin Warsh emerging as the frontrunner for the next Federal Reserve Chair, sparking speculation on future monetary policy.

Rising yields could trigger a pullback in small-cap stocks, while investors may pivot toward mega-cap tech, expected to deliver strong earnings growth. Overall, the market is likely to see a neutral to slightly bearish trend next week due to overbought conditions.
