Found out that there are no effective consequences to anything you do if you have billions of dollars at your disposal? If so, then yes.

Look. The site is gonna stay up but the spell is broken. He'll let Trump back in then he'll kick him off and the NYT will cover it in all caps. There'll be another private jet handjob horse bribe incident. He'll make Calacanis CEO and fire him. &c. Everyone will care less daily.— Paul Ford (@ftrain) November 19, 2022

Sorry, no effective consequences to the wielder of those billions, obvs. Like 'Musk tanks the fuck out of Twitter > Musk flies to Thailand with Bankman-Fried and lives off of cocaine and milk for four months' is a totally feasible progression.

Confidence that the site will stay up seems unwarranted but the spell being broken is about right

xxp - that is sort of how I see it falling apart for Twitter as well. the site may or may not have the sort of cascading failure that a lot of the engineers are predicting but it's gonna start to lose it's appeal. it's already starting, with a lot of accounts I really liked quitting, or getting banned for making fun of Elon Musk. it's gonna get a lot more fashy, will almost certainly have regular technical problems, and may wind up full of so much NSFW stuff you can't open it in public. little by little it'll become less appealing and I think eventually you just say fuck it. Facebook is kinda in the middle of its own problem like this. I can see Twitter being like Myspace, maybe in 5 years you'll be like "ohh I still have an account there!" and log in to find it totally revamped with a really complex layout and a bunch of weird new features you don't like. half the posts will be spam. it's really hard to do anything because they had to disable so much shit to keep from getting sued. but it'll still be around.

New email from Elon Musk to engineers: “please be prepared to do brief code reviews as I’m walking around the office.” That’s it — that’s the whole email.— Zoë Schiffer (@ZoeSchiffer) November 19, 2022

I know it's a little uncouth to make these kinds of assumptions but I think this dude is 100% on something right now. his behavior right now really feels like the dudes I know who were rapidly approaching a major inflection point. like, this is what the guys I knew who were on meth started acting like.

right I mean one of the people I know is too and when he got all hopped up during a manic episode he said shit so bizarre that it was almost scary to hear. like the dude bought this company for $44,000,000,000, immediately started posting conspiracy theories, antagonized all his advertisers until they pulled out, lost 80% of his workforce within 2 weeks, and is now demanding everyone fly in to see him in person on 6 hours notice so he can tell them he's going to stalk the aisles of the workplace and do impromptu code reviews of a programming language he won't understand for an app he apparently knows absolutely nothing about (from the technical side, at least). he went from "all our unbannings will be reviewed by a diverse council that considers all viewpoints" to "should I fukkin do it!?! y/n" within a week. it's literally insane shit. like he thinks he's lucid dreaming or something.

more twitter infrastructure research
for people blathering about “just put twitter in the cloud” we tried that. i was there. so just to put some numbers out there, let’s assume aws gave you a 60% discount. now you’re talking approximately 500,000 m6gd.12xlarge systems (new hw was bigger). that’s $300MM monthly— ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ but can’t dance off it (@petrillic) November 18, 2022

also re: cloud that is a good point. cloud hosting is great if you have predictable traffic levels, less good if it fluctuates wildly and you're paying bandwidth costs.

xp to infrastructure post
1000 node presto cluster is not “keeping twitter running” that is probably some analytical junk and if the last two years have taught me anything, it is that you really need to segment “this is what keeps people doing things” and “this is how we determine what people are doing and modify that experience”
the latter is where potential exists but if it’s a zillion times larger than the former then you’re taking crazy pils
