Hopefully, yes.
Life without is better. I left over a year ago. No drama, no loss, no issues. Twitter is not family
“I don’t have any theories that make sense,” Paskalis says. “There is a revenue model in his head that eludes me.”
You don’t need a complex business model for this to make sense. The man has had “fuck you money” his entire life. Things are finally not going his way and he only has one way to respond… by saying “fuck you” to the people he doesn’t like.
Pretty much. I understand the impulse to think he has to have some secret plan, some rational explanation for his behavior. I used to think the same thing, that there was some way he would actually make money from destroying the company, but no. No, he’s just an impetuous, impulsive idiot who tricked himself into having to buy the company at meme stock prices, and is going to burn the whole thing to the ground purely because he is, in fact, a dumbass.
I honestly think that he doesn’t have to face consequences like normal people because he has enough money to make problems go away. He can be an awful person in interviews, and mean his words too, then even bankrupt his company, and you know what? He will continue being excessively rich.
His money could be used to fix so many issues en masse. It’s disgusting that he chooses not to do so every day.
Go F Yourself meltdown is probably the final nail in the coffin. It does seem like space nazi knows it’s doomed. Anyone know what happens when bankruptcy happens? Does creditors take over the company? Does he get sued for negligence? Does it get sold to a highest bidder for pennies on the dollar? I’m hoping someone can enlighten us.
The first kind of bankruptcy, Elon & his Saudi bros keep the company, and the banks lose like 50-90% of their loans.
The second kind of bankruptcy, the banks get all the servers and office chairs and sell them to either a new data-mining company or a recycler. This isn’t very likely, because most of the value of Xitter is all the people who keep visiting, regardless of whether Elon knows how to monetize them.
Go F Yourself meltdown is probably the final nail in the coffin.
I’ll believe it once they’re actually bankrupt. So many things have been predicted as “killing” the company in the last year yet somehow they’re still going and millions and millions of morons/addicts are still using it.
I think Murdoch will buy it just as it goes irrelevant for $580m and then it will go bankrupt
Prediction: Murdoch will be dead by then. He’s 92.
Edit: I think we’ll see news that he’s dead by next Saturday. Why? Trying to cash in my hopium 👍

I don’t care. But it will be good for people who are addicted to it.
While bankruptcy is plausible, in such event debtors would simply change who’s in charge of the platform, per article. It’s wouldn’t be the end for Twitter for sure.
His interview certainly lent some additional weight to the theories that he’s been trying to run the company into the ground the whole time.
I hope so, for the lolz
I don’t give a shit.
Would you sell it, then?
Perhaps the current owner of Twitter will be interested.
its vast archive of conversations can be used to train chatbots.
Maybe Nazi chatbots?
Since that literally already happened years ago with Microsoft Tay. The Japanese version Rinna got depression instead.
Exactly, only difference is Elon would be proud.
I hope so.
It was morally bankrupt shortly after Seth McFarlane left too long under a heat lamp took over. In addition to all his other failings, Elon looks like McFarlane jerky.
I was going to say you’re doing a disservice to McFarlane by making that comment, but he probably would’ve found it funny too. Carry on 😁
I think Twitter is going down, may or may not go bankrupt but I think it will lose relevance. Wonder if it will be replaced. Lots of people (myself included) kinda assume that bluesky, mastodon or some other twitter-like service will take over. But Twitter is not really necessary, so I don’t think it’s a given that something will take its place.
As a time sink, more multimedia-oriented platforms like Reddit/Lemmy, Instagram, Tiktok or Youtube, seem more attractive.
Let’s hope it doesn’t, I don’t want those racist idiots joining any of the other social networks. Let it become the acceptable 4chan… to siphon off the scum of the internet so that we don’t have to deal with them.
