I think Twitter can continue to operate and even be profitable. But without completely adding a new product offering it's hard for me to imagine it growing to be worth a lot more than what Elon paid for it.
Im curious to hear more on this, in my mind the biggest problem with adding a new product offering would be diluting the text based content which may drive people to more “entertaining / TikTok” content than text content, I think one reason Twitter works as the public square is _because_ text is low effort for celebs/politicians/journalists/etc. Hard to imagine journalists driving as much traffic to their articles over video, especially if you go the Instagram route of starting to prioritize video over classic format (text/images) Again twitter as public square, not Twitter as some yet to be defined TikTok rival)
