And that’s just not correct. Twitter is still running. It has still grown in username in the last months. Their business model expanded to a subscription model.
And all this talk about servers and api is just crap talk of unhappy people that do not know how a company is made profitable. It’s the same kind of people that are angry about Reddit and believe Reddit to go bankrupt. What a joke.

When he took over Twitter it was unprofitable, and the steps he's taking are ones that would be recommended for alot of struggling startups. But not for a major buisness.
Elon is used to moving quickly and breaking things often, as with a startup it's fine if there are disruptions for a while or take years to become profitable.
