What I'm interested in are the larger structural / economic changes that might be contributing to this. I don't pay much attention to Musk but I wonder how much of this was initially him months ago trying to come up with a new way to kick the can of his own unsustainable businesses down the road by buying Twitter and turning it into an "everything app" that can summon your robo-Tesla -- not feasible but useful to generate enough PR to keep investment flowing as internal pressures at Tesla mounted and the free-money spigot started to get turned off. Then Twitter's shareholders were looking to cash out at the same time.

You overestimate the amount of planning. Anything of that nature was post-hoc rationalization by Musk. He was caremad about his gf leaving him after folks told him not to do slurs, because he's a horrible misogynistic breeding fetish racist redditor with a emerald fortune, and everything that has come is the direct result of that.
