There’s a big graveyard of products/companies that have tried to kill Larry over the years.

Meta has been trying since 2009. Back then, a former, well-known Facebook employee once told me not to join Twitter (thankfully, I didn’t listen). He said they, “have a wall at the office with a list of all the things Twitter does well. Every week someone checks another item off. We’re going to kill Twitter.”

This moment is probably Meta’s best chance. I’d say, if it doesn’t happen this try, it probably never will.



This would not be Meta killing Twitter, as much as Twitter doing a seppuku and Meta walking over Twitter's corprse.


except seppuku is considered an honorable death.


Twitter has been and still is, its own worst enemy.
