    It becomes somewhat more unstable because he fires system admins or gets them to quit. The moderation policy becomes more hands-off, making it suck even more for targets of internet hate mobs. The site occasionally does dumb "epic" shit like what reddit and Google do on April fool's. It steadily loses money for Musk, but he's unable to offload it without losing even more money.

    As a business, Twitter could be made profitable by giving up on significant growth, firing all the feature development teams, and having the systems teams focus on improved efficiency and automation (so they can be fired). But I don't think Musk has that skillset. He won't cut feature development teams, because they're the ones that do his latest epic reddit bacon idea.
