This kinda thing is great for the "remote work at all hours" is the erzats demon keeping software companies alive. If it is, we'll likely see some downtime, lots of typical E company results (burned out software folks, higher turnover than is industry standard, and much lower pay since Elon doesn't negotiate at silicon valley salary expectations at any of his companies...

If in 2 years Twitter isn't significantly smaller (think 1500 people) and significantly cheaper to run I'd be surprised.

If in 2 years twitter isn't the worst place to work in the valley I'd also be surprised.

Twitter is going to not exist in 2 years. The financials make no sense, and we already have influencers making fun of subscribers. Subscribing is not only going to create a dichotomy that drives away "economy-of-scale" users but it's going to quickly gain a reputation of being "lame."
Care to wager?
Also, if in 2 years, Twitter's revenue isn't a fraction of what it was just before the Musk takeover, I'd be surprised.
If, in 1 year (or less), Twitter headquarters isn't moved to Texas, I'd be surprised.
