Definitely, the debt is a burden. I don't see how it's a waste to save money though. Maybe the cuts are so dramatic it damages the business, but reducing wasted money is generally good management.

It's like surgery: making cuts is part of the job, but the more drastic and indiscriminate the more likely the patient dies.

Given that Musk has just arrived, how can these cuts be carefully considered? He burst through the door and started slashing from what anyone can tell.

Even if Twitter is heavily bloated, the cuts may be fatal anyway on that basis.

Cutting costs is good, quickly slashing 50% doesn’t seem carefully considered and may cause actual problems.
