Or, you can listen to Elon basically every day. What's Twitter worth now according to him? Significantly less than half now surely. He claimed 20 billion out of the 44 billion as of exactly a month ago, and April hasn't exactly been kind to the economy.
They lost almost 75% of their top 1000 advertisers. It's become a right-wing cesspool, with open bigotry commonly on display. To the point that even many right leaning moderates I know refuse to use it anymore. Not to say it was perfect before, but nowhere near this bad.

And you are ironically ignoring the fact that Mastodon isn't "run" by four developers. There is no such thing as a "global Mastodon outage", or a central Mastodon authority that says blatant bigotry is disallowed.
There are currently 828 contributors. And Mastodon isn't responsible for what's certainly billions in hardware and infrastructure investment as Twitter is.
If I want to start a Nazi-themed hate instance that only allows white-people dressed like clowns, I can. But it will be a very silent echo chamber of myself and other like-minded bigots because no one will federate with me.
