I think you’re overthinking it tbh. He’s not some evil supergenius, he’s just an extreme lucky idiot and bigot who’s finally getting a taste of the finding out after fucking around for most of his life…
Evil, yes, but in no way a mastermind. Hardly even a mind.

He doesn’t need to be evil or a genius, he just needs to take money from cunning evil people

True, and pay people much smarter and otherwise more capable to do the actual work required for making him money.
That’s the main reason why the whole twitter thing had been such a dumpster fire: he’s taking a hands on approach rather than just pretending to by taking credit for the work of other people.
The fact that the nature of a social media company means that most of his mistakes and desperate attempts to rectify them are much more public sure doesn’t help either, given his narcissism…
