Pretty sure Russia's owners of Twitter really intend it just to be used as a propaganda backwagon platform, like China's TikTok, so the funding does not need to be self-sufficient. As long as they get a critical userbase where they can move their propaganda, nerf the criticism, and can't be taken down because of the ensuing backlash, that's good enough for them.
