Makes me think about how Bluesky is also a Public Benefit Corporation and took $8m in funding.

I mean Bluesky is founded by Jack Dorsey, who made a fortune for shareholders with his last social media company by conning an idiot into paying way above market value for it. Of course it'll be hard to make that particular lightning bolt strike twice, but it's not like he doesn't have a good track record.

That idiot, how you call him, bought the user base and the market position of Twitter. Either he has a plan to make it profitable or he doesn't care, as long as he doesn't loose too much money.

The fact that he immediately tried to back out of the deal, to the point of going to court about it, suggests to me your version of events is not correct and the "idiot got conned" interpretation is much closer to the truth.
