I agree, but at the same time I think if anyone could buy Twitter and keep the key people around and happy, it's got to be Apple. I'm not entirely convinced of my own argument, but my intuition says that Twitter needs some sort of plan, and Apple need some social elements. They've tried doing it themselves and failed.

Twitter is lossmaking because all it's selling is adverts that don't really work. Apple are selling products and if Twitter helps them to sell more products or lock customers in, then it may cease to be lossmaking.
