The parent comment which I replied to said, verbatim:
>> Last week Twitter was supposed to break in a couple of days
> I did not see anyone make any such statements. Who are you referring to?
So I answered that poster. I provided the parent comment with some avenues for witnessing a small sampling of the lies and fear-mongering about Twitter. For example, if you spend some time at my last link, a Twitter search page, you'll find one possible search query that results in statements of the kind the parent comment asked for. For example:
> Staying on twitter until it breaks, but make no mistake— it will break (World Cup tweets alone…).
> If no big news story breaks this weekend I suspect Twitter will crash on Monday, sometime after 8am when England scores their 1st World Cup goal. I read that Twitter staff would have watch parties for WC traffic & pray for no goals so there'd be no cascading server failures.
> Twitter will break next week. The World Cup is the #1 driver of social media posts - by ALOT - and would stress a system at full functionality. Twitter is going down faster than Neymar.
> I don’t wanna stir fear but a site like Twitter having a skeleton crew running it means that 100% shit will break. Oh and the Qatar World Cup is coming soon, Twitter may not be able to cope with that (if Steve broke Twitter then the World Cup for sure will)
> Predictions are that the World Cup traffic will likely “break” Twitter.
> The World Cup is gonna kill Twitter
> The World Cup will break Twitter, probs
And from the first link I posted, a news article:
> the 2022 FIFA World Cup over the weekend. It has historically been one of Twitter's busiest events, when Tweet surges heavily stress its systems. "It does look like he's going to blow up Twitter," said Robert Graham.
> "I can't see how the lights won't go out at any moment."
Again: *etc.* There's plenty more out there.

> Your comment says people said it should break by now. That isn’t the case.
Wrong. My comment does provide evidence of people saying it should break (have broken) by now; it gave the parent commenter the exact information they requested: people saying it should break "by now"--days prior to the world cup.
Also, I said nothing about what "most people" are saying. Although, now I would expect you to provide evidence for your assertion. I'd like to see evidence that "most people" are saying it "may" break in the "near future."
I expect goalposts to continue to move, so your comment is not surprising.
> Why do you have loyalty to someone who doesn’t care about you — Elon.
Whoa. That one came out of nowhere. I'd like to know what you imagined I wrote in my first post that signified I'm "loyal" to Twitter's new owner.
Goalposts don’t have to move. Of course you’re going to find some people saying dumb stuff. There’s memes around this concept. Being something some people say on Twitter means nothing.
> Meanwhile, Twitter is at record-high usage. Why do you have loyalty to someone who doesn’t care about you — Elon.
