It seems the area he performed the worst is making advertisers happy, but he's the one one taking the hit on this and he had to do it to accomplish everything else. It's also hard to think that Elon sees this as a failure in any way, he now has total control and hasn't really lost anything. It's still hard to be optimistic about twitters future given it's past, Elon's spastic nature and tendency to ditch an old company for a new one, and I wonder how well he'll actually do in resisting exterior influence, but this win clearly belongs to Elon.
