I posted this because I'm curious what the minimum personnel requirement is to just keep Twitter up, and whether the company right now is at risk of falling below that. We're in a bizarre situation where a site that remains massively popular and influential is at risk of disappearing from the web for no good reason beyond one man's capriciousness.

My offer to take Twitter off of Musk's hands for $30K remains open.

YouTube will be the last remaining social media platform because it's the only one that actually makes enough money to stay above water. Every other platform is gonna be gone in the next decade (some probably sooner than others).

Facebook could if they stopped the metaverse cash bonfire.

All social networks have a limited shelf life so even if he stops burning cash it will just delay the inevitable by only a few years.

He's really rich, you should ask for more than $30k to take it off his hands.
