Can Elon keep Twitter afloat with all the money it's been losing?
I don't see how. It's possible to block most ads you see on the platform and there aren't enough companies advertising to replace them so you end up with a mostly ad-free feed.
The point is to kill Twitter. Elon Musk is beholden to the Saudis with his investment. They used Twitter tracking to find and kill Jamal Khashoggi. What you see happening to Twitter is entirely on purpose, so it can't be used to stir up uprisings again like the Arab Spring in Egypt, or the organization of Hong Kong protesters.
I see sunshine and blue skies ahead.
