Does anyone else genuinely think Twitter/X will die anytime soon with the latest changes Elmo is making?
It's the 5th most hit site globally, it's going nowhere.

The question is, will it remain that way in the coming years?
MSN messenger was at one point the world's most used communicator app too.
Most of those are not profitable...
And Twitter is saddled with literally billions of dollars of debt it wasn't a year ago, and payments start soon.
Either he's going to have to start paying obscene amounts of his own money to keep it at its current level, or he drastically cuts workers and/or infrastructure.
For this to have worked, he'd have to take one of the popular websites in the world (that doesn't make a profit) and make it mote popular while monetizing it.
So it maintaining it's old position just isn't enough. And things can (likely will) nosedive soon.
