That sounds like a “tomorrow” problem for short-term thinking autocratic assholes
I don’t think so because another platform will pop up eventually. It’s too much money for a short term thing

Eventually could be a while, and during that time they don’t have to worry. Also, without it fully tanking and limping along, many will stay and have stayed. This removes the need for an immediate replacement and hurts the possible success of one as celebrities, companies, artists, etc can and do just stay on Twitter.

It’s probably a combination. He considered buying it for reasons including the above. He didn’t intend to pay $44 billion or actually buy the company. He didn’t intend to ruin it.
