It's not the end of the world(or even twitter) unless the reason they missed a payment is that twitter is insolvent, it's merely a indication that twitter isn't bound for new greatness anytime soon.

The likely scenario for pre-musk twitter is a slow decent towards irrelevance which frankly might not be a bad thing for society. And the way it's likely to happen is death by a thousand cuts as the roughly 250million(mostly non-us based btw) non celebrity users of twitters start to be annoyed with the twitter experience and drift towards different sources for casual entertainment.
