Twitter stock returned ~30% vs 190% for nasdaq in the same period... let's not pretend this company is even remotely close to being performant. I'd be far more inclined to believe "we rolled our own" engineering excellence stories from a massively profitable organization, rather than this confused-about-being-a-nonprofit company.

Also more broadly, people quitting en-masse with new leadership attempting to make the place profitable should tell you all you need to know about the culture.

Trying to make the place profitable by firing large swaths of their coworkers. You make it sound like people started jumping overboard right when the rescue crew was on the way, rather than when a new captain took over and started trying to stop the ship from sinking by forcibly tossing people himself.

Elon is going far beyond "attempting to make the place profitable"
