Lotta people talking about ways that Twitter's financials could implode under the New Management.

But how would we know? Twitter doesn't have to report earnings any more. If Musk wants to prop it up with his own money, he can just do it and not tell anyone.

(I don't think he wants to burn a *lot* of his own money. Not enough to destabilize Tesla, for a start. But he has some room to ignore mistakes that public-Twitter did not.)

Of course, it's different if Twitter *functionally* implodes. If he pisses off enough people, a critical mass of internal know-how could just walk out the door and then the whole thing stops working. I admit that I am rooting for this outcome.

@zarfeblong Given the headlines about the site this week, I can’t imagine there isn’t going to be massive turnover, which really isn’t good for the stability or security of the site
