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.

With a recession at hand, Musk's desire to listen to his Twitter followers, and his ability to take significant risks, I had expected these actions. Instead of getting caught up in the media circus, look at his successful track record before you sub come to certain assumptions. I believe Twitter will reach new heights under Elon's guidance. What we now see is the aftermath of a media craze that is desperate for clickbait. Real entrepreneurs create more with less.

Twitter will definitely survive, new employees will replace those who left, I hope it will be good for it

The real question which seems unaddressed in comments below is whether someone is poised to capitalize on Twitter's weakness and offer a superior experience. In the balance the switching costs for Twitter's users are too high to warrant significant defections. The engine for Twitter is the multitude of users for whom its a significant piece of their branding or communications plan. That said, the current moment is destabilizing - if there are continued outages or security breaches due to short-staffing, then those users are going to be more receptive to an alternative that they wouldn't have been in a place to consider otherwise. So if say TikTok were to launch a compelling alternative, you might see the balance swing...so likely Twitter isn't gonna fold or anything dramatic, rather a slide into irrelevance as the Next Thing We Didn't Expect arrives...

Yeah definitely. Because Elon Musk is a hell of a Business Person.

Absolutely! Elon Musk's track history is full of controversies and still he has bounced back every time. With Twitter, I think it's unfortunate that people are looking forward for an eventual shut down. It's a huge company and has enough potential to maintain its SM power.
It’s total chaos though!

Given that Ellon musk has co-founded PayPal, Tesla, and Space X. I am quit optimistic XD But let's see... If it dies we can all meet in the WBE Space

I think Twitter will survive but will eventually lose its credibility According to search engine Journal A large percentage of employees, including entire infrastructure teams may choose to resign any time Millions of users tweeted sentiment that Twitter was dying and said their goodbyes So in this scenario I don't think twitter will survive.

Yep, and it will become a better platform

Yes it will "survive" - but I think it is going to become a place no one really wants to be anymore. A lot of people I was following in the security space have already left.
