Remember last week when Twitter had #RIPTwitter and #GoodbyeTwitter trending on the platform after Elon Musk fired about half of the company’s 7,500 employees?
Some were claiming that the social media platform was facing an inevitable death.

Musk joked about the Twitter doomsday predictions Tuesday, posting online, “Wasn’t Twitter supposed to die by now or something … ?”

The platform’s new owner posted a graph showing that engagement on Twitter is at an all-time high:

This is not the first time Musk has trolled doubters of Twitter’s new leadership. In a grand display, media outlet CBS News publicly announced that it would pause all activity on the social media website “out of an abundance of caution.”
CBS News’s sabbatical proved to be quite brief; it returned to the platform in less than two days.
Musk responded to the news by sharing a meme making fun of the outlet:

The Tesla CEO seems to enjoy using his newly acquired company to troll the far left. Musk posted a video on the platform Wednesday of T-shirts labeled “STAY WOKE,” along with a comment reading, “Found in the closet at Twitter HQ fr 🤣🤣.”
