Twitter has 7500 employees. What the fuck do they all do? Sure, you need a few dozen engineers to maintain the infrastructure, maintain the code and implement new features. You need a few program managers and managers. A few execs. And a team of people to deal with takedowns of illegal content. A few hundred employees total, at most. The 7000 superfluous employees can be let go.
The 7000 diversity hires shall be kept.
