I think it takes 60 votes to kill the filibusterer!!

But isn’t that what the ‘nuclear option’ could potentially be for, ending debate on legislation? Or am I wrong about that? I thought it allows a simple majority to change senate rules, like temporarily doing away with the filibuster. Reid used it once for Obama appointments and Mitch used it to end debate on the Garland confirmation a few years later.
