Think its a bit absurd to pretend Twitter (content and politics aside) isn't running just fine from technical point of view with 40% of the staff.

I think it's absurd to
1. screw up your market advantage so badly that you create a semi comoetent competitor over the course of a year.
2. Have a rampaging chatbot so utterly unhinged that it gets you litigated in multiple countries
3. Be reported that your site (which makes money off of ads provided to humans) is estimated to have at least 70% bots
4. To be hemorraging money so badly you make the company y private and then "acquire" it to further hide the losses.
Yet still insist that things are running "fine on a technical level".
Yes, if you only care about the ability to broadcast a 280 character message + media to the world, manage a "friends" list, and pay a subscription for a blue checkmark (and even longer messages! Its like Hacker News all over again!), Twitter is still operational with 40% of staff plus whoever he had to rehire back.
