I really hope the original owners re-buy Twitter for a fraction of what they sold it for lol
Simply reversing Elon's decisions would bring back advertisers and engineers, and the media would paint them as the Messiah for saving "the Internet's public square".
And for 90% off the ticket price? Why not

To make a shitload of money
Yeah, it's easy to forget but it was a leveraged buyout meaning that a lot (all?) of the debt is Twitter's, not Elon's.
Maybe they could use it to swindle some other mega rich bastard, just the way they robbed Musk.
The Twitter brand is still worth good money, just not in the hands of Musk.
