He will want nothing to do with ATT.

@c1 , more like far too many grifters…starting with the C suite.
no matter the company, the phone company culture will make him unload within one year
@c1 RTO is a thing of the past. It was used for headcount reduction, now it’s no longer an effective tool.
Musk wants everyone to RTO. AT&T has too many malcontents.
@bd …. also should have mention large debt but that might not matter to him.
Musk would get a great deal on T. Much lower valuation than the other two.
@b8 and so do you. What does it say about you? Same boring stale comment that doesnt even actually mean anything at all 🥱
Who here can speak for Musk? If you can, you certainly would not be spending your time on this site! For the record:
AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile all carry substantial debt on their balance sheets. Based on recent financial reports, the total debt figures for each company are:
Verizon~$166 Billion – $188 Billion (Depending on calculations including short- and long-term liabilities)
AT&T~$160 Billion – $163 Billion
T-Mobile~$83 Billion – $120 Billion (Long-term debt sits around $77B–$83B, with total debt pushing higher when including short-term obligations)
Summary:
Verizon typically carries the highest absolute debt load of the three, heavily driven by past multi-billion dollar spectrum acquisitions and heavy capital expenditures to build out its nationwide 5G and fiber-optic networks.
AT&T has significantly reduced its debt load compared to previous years (when it peaked near $180B+ during the peak of its media/DirecTV/Time Warner conglomerate era) following major corporate spin-offs and asset sales, though it remains heavily leveraged.
T-Mobile historically carried the lowest debt of the "Big Three," but its leverage increased substantially following its multi-billion-dollar merger with Sprint, as well as more recent network expansions and asset integrations (such as UScellular).
Nobody does. You simply can’t entertain this level of debt. It’ll never be fully paid off.
Can’t say I blame him. Neither do the rest of us
