Erring on the side of things often changing less then we may anticipate, my guess is that Twitter becomes a sort of Tumblr for people of a certain persuasion, that being the people who like the ideas Musk is putting forward. It still exists, it puts out new features from time to time, there's a large group of people who simultaneously love and hate it and spend enormous time and energy there, but it's role as the primary town hall forum is passed on to some other community or set of communities. Maybe ones we know today, maybe ones we don't.
But my confidence that I can forecast this is low, I'm mostly taking a stab for a bit of fun and to look at this comment in a few years.
One thing I have a high degree of confidence is that Musk will declare victory in almost any outcome, and if it's really so egregious that he can't declare victory with a straight face, he'll find some way to blame everyone else in the world.

- maxbond 4y agoDarn homophones! Thanks
- commandlinefan 4y agoOh, I get it, I've been a victim of homophonia myself in the past.
- dont__panic 4y agoIn an ideal world, we'd see municipalities, schools, and community services like fire/police move to an open platform like Mastodon. In reality... they'll probably move to TikTok because "that's what the kids use these days".
