  WhatsApp is (was) an instant messenger, not an ad-supported media company.

  Did Whatsapp serve ads? Did it have to moderate content? Twitter is vastly more complex than Whatsapp when it comes to functionality and platforms it had to support.

  WhatsApp didn't get to 55 employees by having 2000 and then randomly firing 97% of them. The argument is not that twitter can't be ran leaner, it's that the current process of leaning twitter is bad.
