Twitter is Profitable once it's Income from Operations exceeds it's costs including any amortized capital investments and depreciation. How much is invested into Twitter or even borrowed has nothing to do with it's profit until that money is spent is acconted for (if spent on Capital projects then that cost is spread out over the lifespan of the investment). Investment is only "paid back" in dividends (paid out if profits) or if the company is sold (or part of it at least like in an IPO). So Twitter is likely Profitable today. We will see if it's investors get any return (which they likely will get a great one). You seem to be confusing Return on Investment with Operating Profit.
