it's a service that's too big to fail.

I used to believe that.

Then Elon Musk showed us that nothing is too big to fail.

Too big to fail is a lie told by bankers who don't want to pay their losses.

fair point. but twitter isn't as big as YouTube. YouTube is the second largest search engine.

So, YouTube going down would be a much bigger deal than twitter. I suppose governments won't even allow YouTube to get acquired by some musk.
