I think that Twitter going bankrupt would be the best thing that could happen for both Twitter and its users.

As JVL pointed out, the site would probably still function even if the company failed. Ownership of the site, however, would pass from Elon to the boring, smart professionals at some distressed debt fund.

These people would run the exact same strategy that Elon is trying to implement (cut headcount and make people work harder) without the distractions caused by Elon's Cocaine Bear management style. This would result in a both a stronger business and a better product.

Amazing you bring up "Cocaine Bear".

My high school buddy, Tommie, from 50 years ago, with whom I then shared a toot or two back in the day sent me a trailer of the movie.

I thought it was from "Onion Productions."

Ray Liotta is in it; too bad it was his last movie appearance. I guess the lure of a theatrical performance over Nicorette commercials was too tempting.

Tom offered that when Ray watched the dailies, he realized it was time to "shuffle off his mortal coil."

Enjoyable actor, sad ending!
