In the bizarre world of Ponzi (Wall) Street, rich-by-obfuscation companies like GAFAM can even exceed in debt their real worth; TWTR (Twitter) was one example of it because it's worse than worthless now. Here's Facebook:

No wonder Sandberg et al left.

So Facebook is in deeper debt than TWTR was in and it is running low on cash (Microsoft's debt is similar to what it claims to have in the bank and Apple's debt is twice as big as what it has at hand).

"Microsoft, the world’s most valuable company, declared a profit of $4.5 billion in 1998; when the cost of options awarded that year, plus the change in the value of outstanding options, is deducted, the firm made a loss of $18 billion, according to Smithers."
