It doesn't require 7,500 people to keep the lights on.

yeah but if you fire 5500 there's little hope that the 2k you keep are the right 2k. nor are they likely to stick around to see things through
You'd think so but the reality is probably a little bit more complicated for a legacy software codebase like Twitter.
just delete everything and charge a fee for keeping ones blog posts.
Do it in waves, oldest stuff first so that people can pay more often.
Make each wave more expensive so that holes appear if one doesn't pay. Newer stuff should be considered more valuable.
Make a desktop client that preserves the tweets for everyone who doesn't want to pay.
Repackage the company so that it makes an attractive purchase.
Make a Tesla Twitter auto and replace the twitter logo with a tiny automobile.
Show videos of spaceX launches and Musk Today at the top of every page. That way you can load the content for each page and only have to pull in the specifics after the audience watched 3-5 minutes of it.
Plenty of time for the slow swarm of desktop clients to find and serve the content.
Make an elaborately advertised but minimal effort to oppress alternative clients and have happy little accidents in the protocol so that undesired content is "accidentally" distributed unless it is top priority not to.
Purchase and merge with Reddit, eventually buy Facebook from meta. Call it TwiReFa.
Dedicated hardware for the desktop client.
Offer a free Tesla auto mesh network internet where internet refers to TwiReFa access only.
Give Tesla's their own TwiReFa account so that they can talk with other autos to negotiate deals.
...wait.... did I say that out loud?
