Which is probably why they created another, for-profit, entity. You can argue that it's unlikely the for-profit conservatorship of the non-profit is incompatible with that goal, but legally that becomes very much grey area.

Well Twitter has other investors, too. But he'll also likely be shaving equity here and there along the way to hedge this bet.

No, as I mentioned, full days in several cases, multiple 8+ hour outages. Keep in mind this is in response to "basically no downtime" If you told me Microsoft had "basically no downtime" I'd have the same reaction.
