I was seriously considering twitter an option when he bought it, but thanks to his effort I am all in Fediverse.
I was never big on Twitter, I’m here thanks to Spez.
As much as I agree with the author, I’m also skeptical to bet against Musk.
On the other hand, Twitter is a mess he got himself into - not a project he actually pursued.
With that in mind I’ll give him (a very generous) 20-30% chance that X lives on to actually be a somewhat relevant platform of sorts and hasn’t gone belly up within the next two years.
Mostly because of the gravity Twitter had and the following that Musk has, not because the ideas seem like sound business concepts.
