- I didn't want Twitter to fail. I wanted it to improve.
- I didn't want Elon Musk to fail. I wanted him to show us an innovative bold vision and excel at it.
- After seeing Elon Musk run Twitter for 9 months, I believe in a universe that makes sense, Twitter must fail. Spectacularly. Hence I want Elon Musk's Twitter to fail to confirm the universe makes sense.
I wonder how does that figure into your question and worldview.
Do you think a company that fired 80% of its employees haphazardly and then threatens to sue anyone who hires them, which owes billions in salaries, rent, bills, where the CEO makes controversial often bigoted remarks frequently, where rash decisions towards harsh censorship are attempted regularly (and currently Threads search/trends are censored, which is illegal in EU), where careless changes are made and reverted within days leaving users confused, where borderline fraud is used to promote and market subscription revenue etc. ...do you think such a company should fail? Or should it thrive?
I think it should fail. And I think it's failing. Twitter is losing billions per annum right now, and Musk can't stop the leak he opened after 9 months of stupidity. But at this scale failing is slower than we're used to and it takes a few years.
