To me, Twitter/X is still running purely because Musk and the banks he used to finance the purchase REALLY don't want to admit to a failure. Musk is very high-profile, with many government contracts, Neuralink coming in hot, and Tesla under a lot of fire over the Cybertruck. He really doesn't need the bad press right now that he pissed away $44bn. Reporting a valuation of $19bn even now is him slowly ripping off the bandaid to prevent too many eyes focusing on his other projects. - US web traffic down 19% - Ad portal traffic down 16% - Mobile traffic on iOS/Android down 17.8% - Granted, all social traffic was down around 3-4% globally, but we can see the anomaly that is Twitter's traffic. To me, it's all rubbernecking at a car burning on the side of the road. We'd rather see it burn down while we're there, rather than watch it on the news.
