The thing about Elon Musk is he’s so erratic that it seems within the realm of possibility that he might just pull the plug on Twitter and walk away in a huff — hence all the tweets by people on Twitter talking like the service is about to go under.
But there are a lot of reasons to believe that while possible, that’s just not going to happen. The biggest issue is, of course, banks. Because of the whole bank situation, it’s far more likely that Musk will find someone to run Twitter for him THEN walk away.
And, yet, there is the issue of not only all the money that Twitter is losing but also how it is going to survive long-term without any advertising. What if is just stops working for 24 to 48 hours? Would that be enough for people to stop using the service en masse?
I doubt it. I think, in the end, Musk might actually pull off a pretty interesting turn around of Twitter or, at least, take credit for it. And I think that’s really his ultimate goal — he wants to take credit for saving Twitter from itself, even if he’s not the one who does it.
