Isn’t Twitter/X way in the hole financially? In what way has it made a quick buck?

Not to over-parse, but "making a quick buck" is not synonymous with being profitable.

As far as I understand, Musk has lost billions of dollars since his acquisition. "Making a quick buck" implies that he has made money.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Elon ruined Twitter for a quick buck but he’s actually lost money on it? Then he obviously hasn't made a quick buck on it.

He ruined Twitter with the intention of making a quick buck.
That he has failed does not make it incorrect to say that he did it for a quick buck.
