Musk never wanted to buy Twitter. So he’s going to run it into the ground but never say it was his fault, Twitter just had an unsustainable business model.
BlueSky and Meta’s Twitter clone will likely be what most people will migrate to. Haven’t seen or heard as much about people going to Mastodon though.
I think Meta was talking about using activitypub, which means you would be able to view the site from Mastodon. I know allot of people are against this, but I think it might make Mastodon better.
I’m erring on the side of caution personally - it’s difficult for me to see what Mastodon stands to gain from a behemoth like Facebook competing on the same playing field as them, with the only launch day federation functionality being importing & ‘migrating’ users’ Mastodon profiles into P92 (tried to find the source I got this from but can’t currently 😔 )
At the end of the day Mastodon could just defederate. And that works in reverse too. More people will sign up for P92, and then once their comfortable in the fediverse they might migrate elsewhere to get away from Meta.
Honestly, fuck proprietary systems and corporate control. Algos and corporations are literally destroying the world. The fediverse might be one of the most important technologies on the I internet in a very long time. This is a hill I will die on.

Meta will absolutely block or not federate with anyone not giving them valuable data to mine. They’re blood sucking vampires.
If that happens then nothing will change. Mastodon will still be Mastodon and Metas new site will be a standalone site.
