depends on your definition of “die”. it is not going to go offline, but it will certainly cease to be of any moderate utility to most people and will cease to have any meaningful cultural impact within a couple of years at this rate
Yeah, even if it costs money to maintain, Elon will hang onto it. It's useful to him.
i do think there is a (unlikely) scenario where tesla’s value begins to shrink which causes a significant liquidity problem for twitter since there is no way the site is generating meaningful revenue now, but i think that kind of speculation is pointless in the end since who knows what similarly rich doofus he could get to bail him out.
The loans are due soon, and were guaranteed by Tesla stock, so it’s fairly likely.
tesla will be bought by one of the big guys when they collectively take all of teslas marketshare with affordable, repairable, un-recalled versions of its products.... someone will want the name. it certainly wont be for the manufacturing lines.
