The "unforeseen problems" are that they decided to take most of them down for maintenance at the same time because French.
The US has tons of resources if only we were allowed to actually go get them, but our government would rather not be energy independent and instead import all the energy we could be producing

A nuclear plant is a few hundred acres, windmills have to be spread out over miles

Ok, and what happens when it's not windy 100% of the time? Green energy still relies on external conditions to function, nuclear is efficient and consistent.
Why do you think France is an energy exporter while most offe other European countries are floundering without constant energy imports from Russia?

How about a business with no income and 5000 employees? That's what it was until now.
And you'll notice, despite the lack of "diversity and equity" departments, the site is still perfectly functional

overpaid yeah for sure...burned it down? it's at it's highest traffic in the entire history of the site. the only reason advertisers pulled out is because they're gonna do exactly what they did with the youtube ad debacle. they're just gonna argue for better rates and come back anyway. This is just a marketing opportunity for them like it always is. these companies would advertise baby powder on bestgore if they felt it wouldn't damage the "brand" and would make them money.
We could also take into consideration that most twitter employees were barely working 4 hours a week, being massively overpayed, and what the fuck was with that 400$ per employee for food PER DAY? Bro, we're just getting a glimpse into just how fucked ALL tech companies are, the only difference is that Twitter now can't rely on investors pumping infinite amounts of money into the company. Unlike most tech companies, Twitter now has to actually make money, which it never has. It's anew concept for a lot of people to wrap their heads around.
(oh, and most of the people that were fired were the kinds of people most tech companies keep around in order to get rid of when budget cuts need to happen. Leeches.)

Something a lot of people won't acknowledge is that the company was always in financial free fall but was constantly getting money infusions from investors because of the societal influence it represented. I'm not sure if there was any point in time in which Twitter was in the black

and you have to figure out how to get the blades out to where you want them as they can't be assembled on-site
