Twitter's ex-employees have detailed the extensive efforts they made to make twitter run well by automatically diagnosing and managing various sources of downtime. However anyone with any amount of systems experience knows that updates, bugs and new features are going to be the pain points moving forward. "Running well" is subjective - moderation is now garbage and advertisers have left in droves, it's easy to flood the website with spam to drown out messages (as various sleeper accounts just did during the chinese covid protests) and many features that have been broken still remain broken. Judging from share price depreciation across Musk's various businesses, I'm guessing the sentiment of "everyone in SV admires Elon" is at best naive, but most likely an attempt at manipulation to address Tesla's still-tumbling share price. Is there even anyone out there who thought the site would just stop working? The expectation isn't that the infrastructure will fail, it's that Musk will make a series of impulsive decisions that render the site either irrelevant or unable to compete with other social media platforms. So far this seems to be a pretty accurate forecast of his actions.
