Also need to add, that a large part of the 80% that got kicked, was moderator staff. So it makes sense that after they removed too many developers, they ended up rehiring them.

Take in account, Twitter their front end, the stuff that people interact with was only like 15% of the actual code base. The rest was analytics for the data (selling data, marketing analytic for advertisers etc).

But as they are not reintroducing moderators, the company is "still down by 63.6% from the numbers before the mass layoffs".

So technically, Twitter is probably back or even bigger on the IT staff then before Musk came.
