If you are bleeding a billion a year, you are not going to survive without drastic changes to culture, mission and focus. Making the engineering team nimble, hyper-focused and startup like is definitely a good solution. Pushing for revenue and profitability is great.
The lead-up to all this, the utter lack of any grace, the public spats with employees, users and advertisers have made the whole thing a toxic spectacle. The sycophant brigade is exacerbating the problem.
The product, engineering and services will bounceback / survive. (Remember the fail whales and the twittocalypse?). The cultural damage and toxic waste is going to be a tough one to clean up. I wouldn't have imagined a scenario where Meta looks relatively angelic compared to twitter.
