It's quite insane that twitter went from 7500 -> 1500 employees and the site didn't implode. 80% of the people gone.

Considering the trajectory of x then x.ai then SpaceX as the holding structure the Twitter purchase investors must’ve done well for themselves.

Eh, depends on what you mean by "implode."

Before the buyout (2021), twitter made $5.1 billion in ad revenue ($6.22 billion inflation-adjusted).

In 2025, it made about $2 billion.

So Twitter is now about 1/3rd of what it was (revenue wise) when purchased.
