What If Twitter Really Does Die? Does that make Elon Musk Thanos?

If Twitter really were to die, the implications would be innumerous. Millennials would have no idea where to get their news, people with mental health issues might actually have to start seeing a therapist, and people in the same room would actually have to start talking to each other again. But perhaps the biggest, most devastating truth of all, is that if Twitter were to die, so many personalities would simply cease to exist with the snap of a finger.

Think about it, entire Twitter personalities, people’s whole following, persona, and identity, would just disappear in a single day. There would be a steep decline in the number of sentences that start with “Nah.” There is no algorithm, you really only have the people in front of you to validate your jokes. Some of you wouldn’t last a day. You can’t just change your name to ‘Leonardo DiCaprio’s New Girlfriend,’ you’re stuck with your given name, which very well could be Fanny Junk.

This raises the question, is Elon Musk Thanos? He doesn’t have any Avengers to stop him, maybe Lil Uzi Vert but I doubt the stone in his head gives him the same powers as Vision. Maybe with the snap of his fingers, Elon Musk will kill Twitter and, as a result, the world will be changed forever. Or maybe he doesn’t know how to snap, wouldn’t that be funny?
