Apparently he’s now running a poll on whether to let Trump back on. Reportedly, Musk uses Twitter polls to get support for things he was going to do anyway, so I assume Trump’s account will be restored.
It remains to be seen whether Trump will rejoin, or whether he’s going to continue kicking the dead whale that is Truth Social along the beach.
I suspect the return of Trump will spark another exodus of employees, users and advertisers. But the loss in user numbers will doubtless be made up by all the Nazis flooding back to the platform. As for advertising, he may lose a few big brands, but he’ll get access to an inexhaustible stream of MyPillow ads, so that’s good.

Not just stress; looking like he does, there’s no way in hell he’s exercising regularly or eating healthy:
(I know that posture; he’s sucking his gut in because of the cameras.)
Not body shaming, just stating a fact; when you have more money than God and countless resources to draw from, taking good care of your own body and health should be a no-brainer.

Elon’s comments seem to indicate that he thinks twitter does some kind of ad revenue sharing with creators like youtube does.
It does not

I’m only in it for the kitteh and doggo vids.
UPDATE: We deactivated our Twitter accts yesterday and stopped emails. YT will suffice for kittehs and doggos.

He can afford an army of top-drawer personal doctors, trainers, dieticians and cheerleaders. Perhaps he has trouble following others’ advice.

EXACTLY.
If I had even 1/10 of his wealth, I’d look like a supermodel and I’d be trying to make the world a better place.
They used to say that ‘youth is wasted on the young;’ likewise, wealth is wasted on the wealthy, at least in Musk’s case.

It’s starting to look like the end credits from Monty Python and the Holy Grail over there!

You are already a supermodel in our hearts and you’re already trying to make the world a better place.

Thanks.
Now just imagine what I could do, if I had vast resources at my disposal…

You said “at least Musk” but as far as I can tell none of the really wealthy ever do anything a regular person might dream about. The closest I can think of is Cameron going with an expedition to the bottom of the sea. Past that they never seem to have any interests beyond making more money, signaling how much money they make, and finding a way to keep their influence even if society crumbles.
I guess some have taken up “be genocidal toward trans people” as a thing.

(The feeling is quite mutual.)
I kept it limited it to him in an effort to stay on topic, but in regards to most wealthy people, I fully concur.
Dolly Parton is a notable exception.
Note that I said nothing about ‘being in charge’; just having a wide range of resources.
I don’t ever want ‘to rule’, or to have the burden of leading; I’m prone to fucking it up just as much as anyone else.
Instead, I do want to find someone who is actually worthy to rule and help facilitate that better reality coming into fruition.

You flatter me, but that’s more a reflection of the sorry ass state of the world right now than of my own capabilities.
(Though I’d definitely buy some judges and politicians and try to course correct the current fuckery going on in our legal system.)
Long story short;
Musk isn’t anywhere near ‘Tony Stark’; but given his wealth & power, I’d do my damnest to be the best possible ‘Nick Fury’ I could be (including keeping both my eyes.)
