If Twitter pulled the layoffs Musk did, without having taken on his debt, it would have posted profits that quarter.

Doubtful. Ad revenue is wayyyyyy down due to the impersonation/brand safety crisis Elon triggered with his erratic product moves. Letting any jokester with $8 impersonate global brands erased hundreds of millions in revenue per quarter from Twitter's bottom line. The debt situation is just an additional financial mismanagement cherry on top.

Perhaps I wasn't clear, but this was before Elon bought it. Twitter easily could have posted profits that year if they did the firings he had ultimately done. I thought that temporality made it clear we are talking in a hypothetical but I guess I wasn't clear.
