There were some people who predicted that in the heat of the moment, but the rational people at the time were predicting that Twitter would limp along, gradually start to show cracks, and eventually become a husk of what it was as the systems slowly degraded. I'd say we're well on track for that prediction.
This isn't an unrelated difficulty—this kind of bug is the direct result of losing (or ignoring) the people who knew better. Institutional knowledge is a tech company's lifeblood, and Musk gleefully discarded most of Twitter's when he came in.
