Events precipitated by owner Elon Musk have thrown the future of Twitter into uncertainty. If it were to suddenly cease to exist, the consequences would be enormous, given how integral the platform is to global communications. | Analysis by oliverdarcy

What if Twitter were to die? That question would have been mostly unthinkable just weeks ago, but a cascade of events precipitated by the company’s erratic new owner, Elon Musk, has thrown the future of the platform into uncertainty. And if Twitter\n \n were to suddenly cease to exist, the consequences would be enormous, given how integral the platform is to global communications. The platform has often been compared to a digital town square — and for good reason.

“What replaces it, or what Twitter becomes now with an owner expressly hostile to and ignorant of the business of daily reporting, is really unsure.” Instead, communications would become fractured across multiple social media websites, leading to a seismic disruption and slowdown in the flow of information. Some users would probably head to one of the Twitter clones. One Twitter-like microblogging platform that has gained some traction in recent weeks is Mastodon.

oliverdarcy Whats the difference between Twitter & CNN? Twitter, Musk bought it and is restructuring the company. CNN is restructuring the company so someone will buy it. 2 sides of the same coin.

oliverdarcy Good news 👏👏

oliverdarcy It's far more likely that corrupt CNN will die. Please and take MSNBC with you.

oliverdarcy Perhaps the failure of twitter will be a good thing, actually there is no question it would be a good thing.

oliverdarcy Story number 8 today on Twitter employees from CNN. Must be a slow news day.

oliverdarcy There will be other platforms. We all will adapt. Happy to see this tank. We moved on from My Space… we moved on from AOL.

oliverdarcy Iff CNN, the dementia channel, suddenly ceased to exist, nothing at all would happen

oliverdarcy There's still emails, phones, fax machines, other forms of social media. We'd be ok.

oliverdarcy Bad, give elonmusk the key to Jack!

oliverdarcy Relax Twitter is fine. However, it’s no longer a source for your propaganda machine to spread without rebuttal. Thank you elonmusk

oliverdarcy CNN JUST SUCKS...enough said

oliverdarcy Hope it does end. Karma's a bitch & so is elonmusk

oliverdarcy Gonna tell my kids this was Elon Musk

oliverdarcy Chill, it will run quite a while even he fired all employees

oliverdarcy Events precipitated by CNN have thrown the future of the network into uncertainty. If it were to suddenly cease to exist, the consequences would be unnoticeable, given how irrelevant the network is to global communications.

oliverdarcy I ❤️ Twitter and with Musk much and much more than ever 🐍🥂⚡️🚀 and F0c* you Mainstream media corp 🖕

oliverdarcy The world survives on change, sometimes it is difficult and at first destructive or despairing, but there is always another solution to be adapted or adopted.that will slowly but steadily win over public confidence.

oliverdarcy If Twitter called it a day, people would get on with their lives as they always have. Musk, on the other hand ….

oliverdarcy Nothing happens. The world will move on.

oliverdarcy If CNN died nobody would even notice it was gone 💀💀💀

oliverdarcy Twitter is far less at risk of dying than CNN.

oliverdarcy Mr.Musk moved too fast too soon. Most people prefer to work from home. Maybe being in the office 2 days a week would be enough for now. A moderate pay raise would also help.

oliverdarcy It's great to see these would be journalists, political hacks, criticize Musk's handling of the restructuring of Twitter! He's on the hook for $44 Billion! My money is on Musk!

oliverdarcy I wonder what will happen in the future.

oliverdarcy Humanity will go on.

oliverdarcy This all started because of the whole trump fiasco

oliverdarcy 🤪👇👇

oliverdarcy Another Hoax by Elon?

oliverdarcy meta will re rise then. this is the first time I think Elon is doing something wrong indeed. he'll be the next broke fried

oliverdarcy Elon, Elon, Elon!

oliverdarcy Absolute bullshit. Twitter is fine.

Twitter employees head for the exits after Elon Musk' 'extremely hardcore' work ultimatum | CNN BusinessAnother employee exodus appears to be underway at Twitter as many workers rejected Elon Musk's ultimatum to work 'extremely hardcore,' choosing instead to depart the company, according to multiple current and former employees. Has it been clarified what “extremely hardcore” means? A lot of dev, engineers, support, pretty much anyone in a build position tend to work more than 50 hours a week as is. I mean I’m in a compliance type role and I end up doing more than 40. Twitter employees embodying the stereotype. And the site works as well as ever. Sounds like he found a way to reduce headcount voluntarily.
