It's going to be hilarious when nothing happens aside from a few crashes, Twitter usage increases, and Musk takes it public in three years as a lean and profitable company. I'm enjoying this spectacle, but maybe not for the same reason most are enjoying it.
- roflyear 4y agoLots of faith in musk.
- TechBro8615 4y agoI'm extrapolating based on past observations of both Musk and the people throwing tantrums right now.
- viridian 4y agoIn most cases, you can keep a platform going for a tiny fraction of the manpower that it takes to keep stuff alive while building new stuff. If Twitter hasn't dropped its killer feature by this point, they can probably make do without it. I've seen companies in Twitter's position with much worse tech stacks and much worse engineers have their stuff hang on for decades in the financial services world. Any maintenance problem can be pushed back indefinitely if you keep throwing money at the right consultants.
- rendang 4y agoI would be pleased to see this happen, but the part of the equation I don't understand is that Musk seems to have unnecessarily alienated many of the firms advertising on Twitter, which is a big hit to revenue if the companies don't come back.
