Welcome to Techstream, the official podcast of Twitter. (A joke, but only sort of.)

Before we dive into the latest news surrounding Elon Musk's newest company, Shelly saw Wakanda Forever since our last episode, and he and Seth engage in some more (spoiler-free, once again) discussion about the new movie.

As far as the “normal Twitter user's” experience goes, Twitter still seems to largely exist and operate the same way it did before Elon took over. That may not stay true forever, though, so today we imagine a future without Twitter.

We run through the size of every social media network and look at competitors (like Mastodon) and whether or not they're Twitter replacements - or if they'll even make sense (or hold value) to the “normal” Twitter user.
