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



it implies revenue, not profitability


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.
