I think they showed the cost of being rebel insurgents, ie it cost them their relationship. They illustrated Luthen’s soliloquy to the mole.
I like that. In an inferior work, Cinta would never have made it off Aldhani.
Those billion dollar interest payments add up!
To be fair to Elon, there are ways to make Twitter profitable, or at least an asset to his wider business empire.

There's also an argument to be made that it's also the best Star Wars thing made (so far).
