The first link is reporting about users panicking and one of the few comments from NYT itself is "Though there are no official signs that Twitter is going anywhere,...".
The second documents actual issues and makes no predictions.
Even the third one which is just an opinion piece about how bad of a decision maker Elon is doesn't come close to suggesting a collapse.
Please read the actual articles.
For the “Newspaper of Record” to report such fantastical news stories, as if anecdotal reports and opinions are real news, shows the obsession with the left wing media against Twitter and their hope and vibe about its imminent collapse.
Why write such articles at all? It’s “The NYT never said it would collapse, they just reported numerous articles implying it MIGHT collapse and everyone says it will!” OK!
Knowing what many people believe is itself useful, especially if you annotate it with "there are no signs that this is actually going to happen".
> obsession with the left wing media against Twitter and their hope and vibe about its imminent collapse.
Yet, you can't show me an article that says this. Is this left wing media obsession, or is this what you believe about NYT? Twitter was a hot topic and they reported on what's happening there. It's not like there were many positive things to say since the takeover.
There are similar reports of positive things people said https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/28/technology/musk-twitter-s... so it's not like only one side is presented.
Sure sure, down the memory hole. No one said Twitter would collapse after firing 7500 people. Everyone assumed it would be fine. All of these articles were simply conjecture, just something to speculate.
When facts are uncomfortable, just rewrite the narrative.
