If we were still allowed to wager here, I would gladly wager even money that Twitter will still exist in a year or two.

Be careful not to stay in a bubble. I keep reading how Twitter is shedding users like crazy, but according to Musk Twitter is gaining users at a rapid clip.

Elon makes mistakes because he moves fast, but like an Agile programmer he refactors quickly when things go wrong. I think we’re seeing the kind of iterative engineering philosophy applied to management of Twitter. I don’t know if it will work, but it’s interesting to watch Musk play it all out in public.

It’s nice to see the transparency, even if it does give ammo to his haters.
