I dont think he is impulsive, he and his friends hatched the roadmap over many weeks and months. I think its a very standard playbook in terms of the lore of finance and M&A, but I think that the non-conforming part is that it's a social media company and turnaround tactics from the playbook might or might not work, especially when implemented by a team who has experience using twitter to market Tesla in a post-modern way, but perhaps doesnt realize that the three sided relationship between the company,users, and advertisers can be destabilized quite easily.
I dont know if Twitter had a core culture of excellence inside the bloat that exists in so many ad-driven companies, but the way the culling has happened seems almost deigned to destroy the engineering culture at the company, which I think is probably a miscalculation. The sad part is that people really are fungible to a certain extent because of the tools we have built to do software-based business. And it might be an overreaction to claim that just because the employees are being mistreated that the business of twitter is somehow doomed.
