Question: What does 7500 employees do at Twitter?
I cannot fathom what they do. Can someone help me with some general percent breakdown? How many are management, support, coders, testers, etc?

That brings it down to under 1000 employees So Elon paid $44B for a company now with 900-odd employees. For a 10-year ROI, that's $4.4B per year profit, or $440 million/per employee For contrast, Netflix has the highest revenue per employee at $2.63 million/person, and Apple is second at $2.38 million, and Alphabet & Meta next at $1.64, and eBay at $0.9 million per employee.
