He had said it would be 25%. Which is less than what the board had been discussing. They had planned on 40%. So it'll likely end up at about that.

He's already said who he's going to put over the company months ago. Twitter was looking at cutting 40% because they're broke. A lot of tech companies hire new staff to claim reinvesting into the company for tax cuts. That's the employees you see taking a month off, making those videos, etc. The increase in 3 years is the plan to make Twitter the foundation of his X company. An platform of everything. It will probably be more than 3 years with the current economy, but it'll be well on it's way by then.
