> Cut backs were needed

I mean, you are both claiming cuts were needed and they’re too much. So how much was right? How do you know? You’d do a better job than the people who have access to the numbers? That’s a fairly arrogant position




Gee, it's almost like there are aspects of life where a single-minded absolutist position is going to be less effective than getting to know the actual situation and making an informed decision based on human judgement.


Most FAANGS have been cutting by 10 to 15%. That trims excess fat without gutting a company.

Twitter seems to have a serious cultural problem at the moment, and that is generally a lot harder to fix than to rehire when the growth curve inverses.

I am sure Musk had to cut by 50%, if only because Twitter's interest payments are now significant. However, that does bring significant challenges.
