By Clare Duffy | CNNWhen Elon Musk first agreed to buy Twitter, he promised to make the company “better than ever,” with greater transparency, fewer bots, a stronger business and more of what he called “free speech.”But six months after Musk took control of Twitter, the future of the company and the platform have never been less certain.After acquiring the social media platform for $44 billion in late October, Musk reportedly now values Twitter at around $20 billion — and some who track the company believe even that estimate is likely high. Musk repeatedly warned that Twitter could be at risk of filing for bankruptcy only to claim he had brought it back from the brink thanks to his slashing costs, both by laying off 80% of Twitter’s staff and allegedly by failing to pay some of its bills, according to multiple lawsuits. But it’s not clear just how and when Musk might return Twitter to growth.RELATED: How Elon Musk transformed Twitter’s blue check ...Sam Bankman-Fried dined with Mohammed bin Salman and Jared Kushner to get Saudi money: report
