| TA is already dead since the search function is broken and there is no signs of it ever getting fixed . Searching TA via google is not the same thing although sometimes you can find what you were looking for. Twitter seems to be on life support, but i think it will survive. It is kind of entertaining to see whats going on with it especially the news headlines. |

I'd love for it to.
I didn't really follow Musk before all this, and after the sink thing, for a moment, I wished I'd never even heard of him. But now, after having been subjected to more of him, I've come to realize that most of these tech billionaires unwittingly provide lots of fun entertainment for us normal folk to enjoy. From Bezos's unconvincing laughter, to Musk's absolute inability to see himself for the wazzock he is, to Zuckerberg's machine-like attempts to emote excitement at Instagram's new face filters, it has all suddenly become truly delightful for me to experience.
And the fact that Musk, in the end, did not want to buy Twitter, but was forced to.. me all night long. I feel like all this finally hit me today, and I've had fun ever since.
What comes to Twitter, I'm hoping it will go down in flames ASAP now that it's Musk's, but I don't think it will. Its nature is sure to change though, as he seems to want to make it cater better to advertisers. A man who's awful enough to think up a heinous concept like "space billboards" will probably milk everything he can out of Twitter and somehow make it work for himself in the end. |

ELON: "You know I'm so in' rich, I can buy your app at an over-inflated price and not even blink twice, right?"
TWITTER: "Sold!"
ELON: "Wait, what!?"
LAWYERS: "Yep, that's a legit sale."
ELON: "Th' fu...?" |

Yeah, trying to make money off of Twitter - something it's never been able to really do - is the least of his problems. Firing/Relieving/Folks-Noping-Out around 75-80% of the staff is nothing less than a complete IT disaster waiting to happen.
Here's a list of things that could go wrong in just the next few weeks:
Twitter is sooo ed! |

| If Elon ever makes an offer to acquire TA, please refuse to entertain the notion, Del. |

You've been here through the thick and thin. I always left when times got hard. |

I doubt he understands much except publicity.
As long as Swamper keeps paying the bills, I'd bet TA will outlive Twitter. |

That and as long as he keeps his fingers off any kind of "update to 2023 stylee" button.
Mind you, the fact that all this is still (almost?) identical to what it was back in the glory days of 2001, in a good way, is not to be underestimated. And I suppose the people are more or less equally degenerate still.
