The specific number 4.1083 does not have any notable significance or special role in the contexts of physics, chemistry, finance, astronomy or cryptography.[citation needed] 4.1083 (or at least 4.108) has been referenced previously in comic 899: Number Line.

Gonna go with the last one in the discussion part

TWTR earlier this month had a market cap of $41.09bn

Curious, according to whom? Outside of just unsourced reports of its market cap, the estimates on its valuation are less than half that number.

I really cannot find a news source.

According to their ass, private companies don’t have a market cap, they’re not on the market.

Hmm you’re right, honestly I just googled and saw the same exact number with a decimal point shifted, so I put two and two together

As for whether that number is actually a valid valuation, I’ve not got the information to say

Market cap? It’s a private company, it doesn’t have a market cap.
