Musk on the path to drastically cutting operational costs but he needs to generate a ton of additional revenue, fast, in order to dig himself out of the debt trap he's in. I don't know if restoring banned/shadow-banned accounts get's him there. Maybe bot mitigation helps but it has the nasty side-effect or drastically dropping user-engagement numbers. Granted they were all fake, but advertisers may not care as much as you think, instead they see the bottom line of "reach" falling off the cliff.
Edit: I forgot that Musk wants to charge $20/m for twitter users to be blue checkmark verified. Notable figures like Stephen King have already stated they're not interested in paying a monthly fee, and instead he should be paid to be on the platform.
