I bet he didn’t lay off 50% of the workforce in the first week.

They did lay off about a third of their workforce, albeit not 1 week after jobs returned: https://www.mercurynews.com/2014/08/29/1997-apple-bites-the-...

At the time, Gil Amelio was still CEO as well, so can’t necessarily pin this one solely on Jobs.

Very true. Furthermore I'm curious to see where Twitter will innovate moving forward. After S. Jobs "slashed and burned", he set his teams first on the iMac and then iPod in Aug. 1998 and Oct. 2001 respectively. I keep reading articles about how Musk wants to turn Twitter into an "app for everything" similar to WeChat in China. I'm a bit skeptical.
