I think it’s spot on. It’s people who were already going through the stages of grief, were kinda stuck in “bargaining” (like: “nah, Twitter is not really dead, it’ll come back”), and the symbolism there about Twitter really being gone-gone fast-tracked them to depression/acceptance.

The stages of grief don't have to go in that order. People can be angry at Twitter and then jump to acceptance that its never going back. No fast tracking needed.

Denial: "There is no way Elon would do that to Twitter."
Anger: "This is stupid. Why would Elon do this to Twitter? He's making things so much worse!"
Bargaining: "Maybe if I hold out he'll revert the changes. Maybe Elon has some good left in his heart."
Depression: "Why do stupid things like this happen to me?"
Acceptance: "Looks like Twitter's dead in the water, we should move on."
