Twitter will be okay. It’s financial and FTC woes started before Musk bought it. Twitter was losing $4 million a month and even founder Jack Dorsey apologized for saying he grew the company too fast. Meanwhile, user numbers have gone up. Advertisers who have paused their accounts can’t ignore that for long. 

Musk will figure it out.

He's culling the dead weight jobs and the malcontents. That alone will stop a lot of the financial bleeding. What's more fun to watch is the outcry of disgruntled employees who are getting fired for publicly criticizing Musk since the takeover. Now, I've only worked for 51 years of my life and maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems to be a general rule that if you criticize the CEO of your company publicly (or even privately), that you might indeed be asked to leave your job and said company. I guess they're so used to the 'freedom of speech / freedom from consequences' paradigm that's been in place there for so long, that their heads are now exploding trying to absorb the reality that they just got [BLEEP] canned.
