Serious Q, as I dont know Twitters internal infra at all... but with a shrinking in revenue from ads, or maybe less engagement by users, and the influx of Threads - maybe twitter can use from slices of its infra (even if its rack space, VMs, Containers, connectivity, who knows what, to support startups such as this?

Basically twitter devolves into the Colos of the late 90s :-)

For those who didnt notice, it was tongue in cheek.

I've generally tried to give Twitter the benefit of the doubt but I would never trust them as an infrastructure provider in their current incarnation. Reliability and consistency have been so far from their focus.

Would you really trust a company that doesn't pay its rent to run your infrastructure?

Generally when you just stop paying your bills the datacenter holds your hardware and eventually auctions it off to cover some of your debt. I seriously doubt Twitter has any access to the two of three datacenters Elon decided to not pay for.
