Depends...you could rebalance to stay up forever, but just slow anything new at all.

Your biggest issue is the data center. A lot of folks forget about this stuff, but hard drives are constantly dying, servers go bad or crash, heck even the ac needs maintenance (though that's contracted out I'm sure). None of that is glorious, but it's critical. The major systems are very very reliable in the face of a few hardware failures, but give it a couple of months of falling behind on maintenance and it would all crumble.

My prediction: Amazon buys Twitter for $1 (taking on its debt) and then can provide their cloud to run it.

Whats the recent relationship between Musk and Bezos? I know Bezos invests in Rivian and used their vehicles for Blue Origin/Amazon delivery. I don't know if they have the appetite for bailing out Musk even for a dollar. Bezos might rather enjoy seeing Musk crumble and take the blame for Twitter.

I suspect it only happens if it is good for Bezos. Maybe advertising Amazon stuff on Twitter and all that juicy tracking data of users would be worth it.
