I genuinely hope this platform burns to the ground.

I already lost all faith in it a long time ago, but kept my account to occasionally respond to a friend, or just look at feeds i don’t follow.

Never going to happen. His other companies are highly successful and private so he can always borrow money to from other companies to keep twitter afloat

If that's what he's doing, he still wont sink money into Twitter forever.

You are underestimating musks infantile need to show the world he's not a failure.

Tesla is not private. He borrowed a huge amount against his Tesla shares to buy twitter. That's one of the reasons he wanted that giant bonus. He needs the money to keep paying off the loans.
