The claim is a major departure for the service, which has long been known as a destination for posting short snippets of text.

Your career can only be ruined if you rely on other people to fund your career. He has enough money (and loans and solvent businesses he hasn't decided to tank yet) independently to keep going when others would have had to pack up.

You think any other non-billionaire could weather the absolute drain of most advertisers leaving Twitter?

Your career can't be easily ruined if you shit gold.

In a fair world, Musk would be rotting in some sewer.
