I think this marks the true end of twitter. Undoubtedly, some people will literally pay to have ol’ muskys thoughts shoved in their face and get their data collected, see garbage alt-right memes but if he fails, if he can’t even make it a premium-feeling cult experience now… (which obviously his vision, but let’s be real it’s a longshot- he’s only gonna be a clown) I don’t see it lasting much longer.

Absolutely. People can talk about the Musk fanatics and grifters and actual addicts who can’t leave but… they aren’t who keeps the place alive. The crowds of people who just browse it casually are who keep social media alive. There’s no show without an audience.
They won’t get regular Joes and Timmies to shell out actual money to keep seeing posts when they could get the same in some other place for free.
