They actually likely did this due to SEO. Google was allegedly in the process of removing tweets from the search index because they weren’t accessible. This happens automatically for most sites.

And if they didn't fire everyone, someone with a spec of sense would have told them this

Same with popups that try to throw you to only a mobile app

What makes you think that even if someone told Musk that, he would have listened to them?

He was firing people before who told him something wasn't going to work, so it wouldn't surprise me if everyone who knew this would fail stayed silent in fear for their jobs.
