It would be funny if Musk just launch a mastodon instance, points Twitter domain there and call it Twitter 2.0. He probably could run it with just a dozen staff.

Indeed, that would be funny :). But you assume that Mastodon can handle the current number of Twitter users (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33594961 <-- it probably can't).

If this scenario actually happen, I'm sure the number of active twitter users left would be just enough for mastodon to handle.

The idea that there is a _plan_, rather than random flailing around, probably gives too much credit.
