“About half of Twitter’s workers appeared set to lose their jobs, according to previous internal messages and an investor”

No but we do know this plan was thrown together extremely quickly. We know a few days ago developers were told to print off (!) their code for review. Let’s state the obvious: it takes more than a week to plan an effective layoff of half your staff.

The "too many" people is in comparison with other companies and the revenue these companies bring in. Twitter is at the highest end of the list of more employees per money.
It might not be the wisest thing, but in comparison with others tech companies and only in this component it's accurate.
There is no indication of how many people.
> There's no way these are going to be sensible, surgical layoffs.
We have no clue whose going to be laid off.
You clearly have your mind made up, regardless of reality.
