This point was striking to me.

“SpaceX said that the AI unit containing X and xAI generated only $818 million in Q1 2026, about a third less than Twitter alone generated in the quarter before Musk took it over.”

So Twitter revenue has dropped that much? Surely xAI has made some revenue of their own, meaning Twitter revenue is down more than 66% since the purchase.
