its worth comes from being able to influence world politics. Does he seem like someone who cares or needs money?

True, but that power is also diminished greatly as more and more regular users abandon the site. No eyes on the propaganda makes it worth a lot less.

I don't have the whole context so I might be missing some things, but the whole thing looks to me like "look at how much money I have to burn and how much I don't care".

He didn't even want to buy Twitter, just manipulate the stock price by talking about buying it. Dumbass signed too much paperwork and waived too many rights, though, and found himself obligated to buy it anyway. Pretty sure he tried to fight it and lost.

So now he's trying to not burn all his money, but he's fucking terrible at it, so he's just becoming a laughing stock.

And may it continue to crash and burn. It’s just 4 chan at this point.

It’s like 4chan but it didn’t know where the line was for the amount of right wing people to be on a social media and ran a marathon
