> Mr. Musk has set some ambitious goals for Twitter, which he has said he will transform into an “everything app” called X. In presentations to investors about the deal this spring, he said he anticipated that Twitter would reach annual revenue of $26.4 billion and have 931 million users by 2028. The company reported $5.08 billion in revenue last year and had more than 200 million users.

No words were omitted in my one quote. Laying off 3/4 of the workforce immediately followed adding tons of functionality and having 5x the revenue and 4x the users.
