Don't just look at the company profits. After Musk bought Twitter, Trump won and Musk gained direct access to the government. I think, that's a pretty good return on the investment.
But most importantly: Elon now has his own big media company. No longer are the other rich guys ridiculing him because he doesn't have his own media empire. He's now a real full member in the club.
