You have ZERO social media experience. Do not appoint yourself as CEO. Do NOT fire management that has years of experience with no one to replace them.

At this point he has to completely tuck his man parts and pay all of those people double what they were making while also recruiting a high caliber CEO with tons of social media experience if he wants to have any chance of surviving. Otherwise he’s gonna have to sell the company at a loss.
