Still sounds like quite a lot to maintain a project with the complexity of twitter.

  If they only intend to maintain it's basically dead - where is the turnaround going to come from ?

  Yup, seems like they could scratch zero from that number for such simple product, even the apps can be just wrappers for website.

  We don’t know the code complexity.

    You could probably write it in a weekend /s

      Probably exactly what both Elon and George Hotz thought, thankfully these people saying that don’t have 50 billion to spare to bet on that unsubstantiated argument.

  I think Elon should invest in some internal tooling that Twitter can take advantage of, such as infrastructure management or ad dashboards.

  It's a tip of the iceberg. The part you see - the UI - is a small part, the complexity is in the backend (advertising/marketing tools, content moderation, metrics, devops etc). Musk being the archetypal Mr First Principles Guy, he probably thought just the same: "it's a simple webapp, how hard can it be?"
