A business commentator argues that buying Twitter was a net positive, saving the platform from likely collapse.

• Twitter was at risk of going bankrupt or being bought by a worse owner before the takeover.
• The new owner's technical skill is seen as a key reason the platform survived and stayed usable.
• Twitter is credited with filling a role in public conversation that no other platform currently covers.
• The move to cut the safety team is flagged as a notable downside, even by someone otherwise positive on the deal.

Outlook: Twitter's near-term survival looks secure, but questions about content moderation and safety remain unresolved.
