Twitter employs 3,898 people according to Wikipedia. Assuming everyone makes $125K (a stretch, according to Glassdoor that's the bottom of their range), their payroll is $487M.

They could easily lay off 3500 people and have more than enough left over to operate a sustainable, profitable product for years.
