Adrian CockcroftRepeating the tweet I posted a week or so ago: I predict that ElMu will eventually give up and sell Twitter to Google for under $10B. I now think that will happen sooner. It’s going to take a brand like Google to re-hire the people it needs to run the site, and Google knows how to monetize ad-tech, can afford it, and the execs are friends of ElMu who will help him get some pennies on the dollar for the banks that lent him the money.
tryggth@adrianco is Twitter on AWS now?
Morgan@adrianco then Google will run it with minimal support for a few years and kill it?
venkyvb@adrianco Interesting take. That may work for a while given Google's track record of shutting down projects 🤣
AE Currie@adrianco let's hope so
Zorro Notorious MEB@adrianco Rumor has it both Facebook and Google turned the previous management down. Honestly, the only white knight that made sense to me was Apple; iOS has been the best Twitter experience since day one.
Daniel Feldman@adrianco maybe Verizon or Time Warner 🤣🤣🤣
@adrianco but I don’t think ANY established brand wants the reputational and legal risk. Imagine Apple or Google banning Trump 😬😬😬
@adrianco like, there’s a reason shows on Apple TV+ are basically all PG13
@adrianco my guess is a private equity consortium that can buy it without disclosing a price (and thus embarrassing Elon)
@adrianco my last workplace was actually bought by the Government of Singapore for an undisclosed price (many billions). Something like that
@dfeldman it’s already a private equity consortium. The problem is that they need to re-hire too many people that will want to know what corporate culture they are signing up for.

@adrianco a deep pocketed buyer? After bankruptcy maybe, but certainly nothing approaching $10B.
If you gave me over-under $1B for twitter right now I'd take the under.
Willie@adrianco this is an interest take
Garrett McCullough@adrianco but it google bought it, how long before they shut it down?
