Title is a bit click-baity and misleading. (Not the fault of OP though.)

In the article itself:

one of the first things Thomson will do is turn the machine off for engineering work. It will not restart until his term is nearly over.

So it will come back online. It'll just take a while.

Oh fuck remember turning it on spun us into this worse time line. What the fuck will happen with turning it off?

Probably induce a bit of a wobble.

We’d have to turn it on but in the other direction to maybe revert everything.

Trillions of dollar flowing to the usual suspects.

That’s a new habit for The Guardian.

I mean, it works. I can hardly blame them with how fast the internet is deteriorating. But still.

It be worth mentioning that they shut it down for an "upgrade".
