The idea that Twitter's future is "bleak" is really premature. For that you have to separate your possible dislike of Musk from the actual ideas, instead of jumping to hysterical conclusions. Musk won't turn it into 4chan because that would be fatal, his entire investment gone with no goals achieved. As he claimed, he seeks to amplify the current silent majority (80%) whilst pissing of the political extremes to the same degree equally. Surely a delicate balancing act, but I find it a noble goal. The tiny little rush of harmful slurs, fueled by people thinking they can now say whatever they want, was immediately stopped in its tracks. Next up, a moderation board will oversee moderation/censorship. We don't know yet what this will bring, so there's little point in drawing conclusions. It's about 2 days old. He's experimenting with alternative payment models. We always criticize the toxic ad model, so I think this is refreshing. He's looking to flatten the influencer curve by dampening the run-away status effects found in Twitter's algorithms. He claims to want to onboard longform content and video, and I would expect quite a few other product improvements/ideas. Judged by his reputation, I would expect them to be delivered rapidly. Quite a culture change from Twitter's product team producing close to nothing. I'm sure he'll continue to be an unhinged unpredictable character and asshole, but I consider Twitter to be so broken that the ideas at face-value do not come across as "bleak", promising instead.
