It not just the layoffs it is also the major changes Elon is forcing through at high speed .

Hiring for twitter is going to be quite expensive, nobody is taking this up without huge payoff and probably upfront given Elon pre disposition not to honor severance etc

He seems to be of the belief that Twitter's issues are bottom line not top line. Hiring would require a major shift in belief.

There is so only firing you can do and attrition you can handle before you have to start replacing staff .

Either he shuts it down at the point or he has to spend a lot of money .

IMO More likely he shuts down and blame any range of external factors were conspiring to take him down rather than accept he decisions were wrong
