Twitter was profitable for, what, a single quarter in 2019? That's not sustainable. But yeah we're talking years before a major cash crunch not weeks. Elno accelerated that timeline pretty dramatically.

Their revenue was growing at a pretty good pace and as of 2021 it only needed a few more percent to meet costs.

If pigs had wings they could fly, but they don't so they can't. Almost profitable is not actually profitable, and Twitter was profitable for a brief moment in time with no indication that it was or would be sustainable.

I don't think "keep that trend for six more months and then everything is good" is pigs flying.
