This is wishful thinking. The business is fundamentally broken beyond repair at this point. They lost the majority of their only meaningful income source. They managed to scare off a large number of their most valuable content creators. They lost their most important staff. They have picked up a lot of unwanted attention from regulators across multiple markets. They have already stopped paying their bills on fundamental things like rent. It’s over. It’s just a matter of timeline that’s up for debate.

You're judging way too early. Advertisers will come back in a few months as long as Twitter stays alive and activity lever rises. There are other revenue sources being planned (Twitter Blue is not the only one). Now, obviously, it might fail, but it's too early to tell. Too many people want it to fail, that's for sure, but many people want it to succeed. The doomsayers said Twitter will go offline because so many staff were fired. That didn't happen. In fact there are signs that the opposite is happening.

  This line you keep telling yourself about it being too early to tell is because you don’t seem to have any kind of business or advertising background. It is obvious and has been for weeks now to those who do. I assure you these are going to be unrecoverable failures for as long as Elon is at the wheel. At best he will be able to sell it for a tiny fraction of what he paid. At worst he might take down Tesla with him considering he just alienated his entire target market of people who were actually likely to buy an electric vehicle in the next 5 years.
