But if they can stave that off cutting a huge amount of expenses is probably what Twitter needed. They were bloated expense wise on basically every reasonable metric, so if they stay alive they'll be much healthier.

I think the layoffs are like open heart surgery - if the patient survives they'll probably be healthier/live longer, but surviving the procedure isn't guaranteed.
I'm a certified idiot but I don't understand how they can cut their workforce and implement all the technical changes to the platform they're talking about.
