That's one way to look at it.
Another way to look at it is: Too many are making it.

At the rate it's going, Twitter may be spared all of the lawsuits coming its way simply by virtue of not existing by the time the lawsuits can come to fruition.
As far as I understand, Twitter is financially in a terrible state. Huge changes have to happen. Let’s all just wait and see how it will turn out.
People aren't saying the app isn't working. If you lay off all of HR will your company still run tomorrow? Of course. Lay off all of engineering will the app still run tomorrow? Of course (most likely lol).
The collapse is the implied result of all these terrible decisions. Terrible decisions which imply terrible leadership. And companies can only survive terrible leadership for so long.
I put in the request to download my data last night -- not because I'm leaving Twitter, but just as a precaution -- and I wonder if it will be fulfilled. I'm sure it's an automated process, but will the systems be running by the time it gets to my request?

It's also:
- Twitter, the advertising-driven business model, which advertisers are fleeing.
- Twitter, the institutional knowledge, technical and otherwise, which is now fleeing.
- Twitter, a government-regulated (FTC and possibly other consent decrees / orders) enterprise. See for example: <https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2022/05/...>
- Twitter, the contributors community, now rather noisily debarking for other pastures.
On all these counts, Twitter is in the process of collapsing, and/or approaching a state where such collapse is inevitable.
Pedantic limited-scope literal reading would be a flawed assessment.
The particular melodrama aimed at Musk right now is just cope amongst the milieu he is purging from Twitter and/or hurt feelings and ressentiment of the media class over Musks stance on free speech. They want him to fail and will go overboard at every little attempt he makes to change direction of the company.
This is a good take here. It's all performative outrage:
Your comments lack both coherence and consistency.
A certain cohort of the tech and media industry is in chaos because they fear Musk will get away with it.
That is not a universally accepted assertion, by any stretch.
Again, you're now ignoring my initial response in this thread.
I doubt further engagement will be fruitful for either of us.
You do realize you're commenting on a story about Twitter that made it, right?
Which is proof by counterexample that the statement is false.
Yet, I only made mine after clicking at the story in the front page.
