Musk doesn't need Twitter revenue, but he does need a controlled media platform

That's why he loves AI and hates wikipedia. He hates transparency and would be perfectly ok with only the appearance of a grass root movement. He doesn't want to be loved, he just wants to make it seem that way so the average uninformed reader believes it. Then his plan is to essentially Black Mirror Nosedive away the opposition from relevance, soon with a position of power as well as wealth.

He doesn't need Twitter revenue financially, but he needs Twitter to be profitable psychologically. There's no way his ego will let Twitter not be a "business win".
