The technical infrastructure at Twitter may prove more resilient than the business infrastructure. Payroll, accounting, and sales (ad sales in their case) count

The technical infrastructure at Twitter may prove more resilient than the business infrastructure. Payroll, accounting, and sales (ad sales in their case) count as "infrastructure" but not part of the technical setup. With a demoralized skeleton crew and key departments like payroll and HR apparently hollowed out Twitter will fall apart just as surely as it will from purely technical issues.
Arbitrarily firing/laying people off and failing to make payroll triggers regulatory and legal problems in the US, and I imagine even more so in European countries with stronger employment laws.
