So essentially the process here is:

1. Buy Twitter.

2. Fire most of the staff.

3. Piss everyone off so all the advertisers shun you.

4. Barely get the company breaking even, mainly due to all the cuts, even though the platform itself is barely limping along.

5. Cozy up to a wannabe dictator that dupes (slightly less than) half the country to elect him as president again.

6. Make the advertisers realize that their continued prosperity depends on bending the knee to you, due to your political connections. Not to mention your platform is now a way for people to buy favors from the government.

7. Profit.

(No need for a "???" step before "Profit", well done...)

We truly live in the darkest timeline.
