Do you think Twitter will survive?

by

If you didn't see, last night, a lot of Twitter employees chose resignation over committing to Twitter 2.0, Musk's grand vision for a brand new Twitter. Some have started saying Twitter will last maybe a week and there are reports that the offices have been abruptly closed. Do you think Twitter can survive? Personally, I think it will, it will be buggy for a while and the World Cup is going to be wild on it, but ultimately I see it lasting.

Everything happening is just to get the world talking

Since there is still no other social network similar to Twitter, it will survive so far. I see many people moving to Insta or Tumblr, but the atmosphere and the way those networks work are very different. If it doesn't crash like physically, I don't think it'll go anywhere

Change is hard. And when it is happening it is miss-understood and miss-represented. I really do wish Elon the best and I hope that he will succeed in his $44 bln. venture.

No doubt, it will survive, and after some rocky / bumpy patches will thrive like never before.

Will not die instantaneously as some are projecting it to. Unless the mercurial CEO decides to kill it himself for some reason. Employees leaving Twitter will not kill it, or any other company. There are thousands of skilled (and average) developers who would rush to join Twitter at the drop of a hat, if and when Twitter hires due to the "mass resignation" of the current employees. However, it's relevance or USP MIGHT be affected because of decisions like getting verified badges by paying, and the rumored longer character limit. Unless Mr. Musk decides to unroll them. In any case, Elon Musk seems to be rattled by having to buy it half-heartedly. It seems he was having lots of fun taking digs at Twitter before jokingly throwing a deal at them which he did not expect Twitter to accept. He tried to wriggle out but had to buy. And it turns out to be an expensive buy. Now he has to make drastic, some even bewildering, changes to cut his losses. Can't blame him for it. Or maybe we can :) P.S. Not a Twitter (or any social media) user, so won't be affected. Just watching things unravel in amusement.

I think it will survive but the next few months won’t be easy it seems as the Chief Twit presses on with his mega restructuring. Borderline madness to me but perhaps it’s what needed to shake the company up properly.

I don't see the reason why Twitter will close, so bright future waiting for Twitter under Elon Musk commands
