  They probably need higher compensation to attract engineers at this point and their existing engineers are probably leaving the company at higher rate. They also need to hire a lot more people to tackle whatever issues they are trying to solve

  I'm guessing most of increase are the "moderators/censors" the media and political groups pressured them to hire. The same thing happened with google a couple of years ago when they were forced to hire thousands of people to moderate/censor content.
