Twitter's cash flow remains negative because of a nearly 50% drop in advertising revenue and a heavy debt load, Elon Musk said on Saturday, falling short of his expectation in March that Twitter could reach cash flow positive by June.

    From a purely technical perspective I’m a bit confused how this clown-car has kept going for so long, after all the slash-and-burn restructuring that’s happened. Hopefully there’s going to be some engineers telling the story when Musk manages to fubar it after all.

      As far as I know, it was in a worse state. What Elon did since he took over is basically reducing the running costs heavily among other things.

      People tend to forget Twitter never made money so far.

        But that included not paying for servers, firing people and finding out later that they had irreplaceable knowledge, demanding constant crunch time from the poor sods that are left and randomly turning off “unnecessary” services.

        I’d be really surprised if that made the overall state better.
