You're right about the cost cutting and credit drying up. I'm not sure which came first though - it's gotten into a feedback loop for so long.
With Musk a reluctant buyer, he must be regretting his purchase more and more every day.
As Musk never really had an intention to buy Twitter in the first place, I'd imagine that he didn't have a game plan either. Yikes!
I think he's prepared to fight this out until Twitter becomes the free speech town square or nothing. I don't worry about Twitter one way or another. We've plenty of options with nostr, etc.

Never really thought that he'd think that way, but I guess that's a possible thought for Musk - I guess it's a gamble that he could afford to lose, and a massive lever if it pays off.
However, I can't help but think that he won't like defeat as it won't be good for his ego. Plus, he's making such a ham-handed job of it so far...
I totally agree about the alternatives. There's so much going for FOSS alternatives and it's getting more and more appreciated by the general public (and free publicity).
