Musk himself has said multiple times Twitter might go bankrupt. They were already losing money and it wasn't really a sustainable business when he bought it given economic trends; something had to change.
The particular melodrama aimed at Musk right now is just cope amongst the milieu he is purging from Twitter and/or hurt feelings and ressentiment of the media class over Musks stance on free speech. They want him to fail and will go overboard at every little attempt he makes to change direction of the company.
This is a good take here. It's all performative outrage:

- dredmorbius 4y agoThis both entirely misses the point of my own comment and negates your own previous statement. Contrast "it wasn't really a sustainable business" with "Don't really see this 'spectacular collapse'". Your comments lack both coherence and consistency.
- PKop 4y agoTwitter is not in chaos or collapsing because of Musk's actions, which is the message of the main post. A certain cohort of the tech and media industry is in chaos because they fear Musk will get away with it.
