I'm starting to think Elon purchased Twitter just to show us how little he cares for money and because he just wanted to destroy it.
It was a Heath Ledger's Joker move.
If the buzz doesn't translate to (paying) users or ad views he doesn't profit shit from it.
The any publicity is good publicity mindset really is gone after you are already a household name. Twitter was already in the news daily, Journalism was replaced with 300 "Celebrity/politician tweeted ______", and half the time all research and studies being replaced with 10 random tweets. "People are outraged about X, here's 10 tweets from random people to prove it".
