It's probably got some value, and I'd guess that its utility is either gonna be to politicians who want access to information about social media users who support Trump or to some other social media network that is already working on monetization, so that it can reuse existing stuff.
I'm skeptical that it's worth much, though. The value is gonna be in the userbase.

That's not a whole lot.
If Musk wants to create a separate social media platform with less-restrictive rules on content, I'd imagine that he'd be in a pretty good position to do that. He's already got a codebase. Just needs to have a separate comment database from Twitter.
Don’t worry, the FSB will fund it, they need it since they’re only good at digital war and found out they’re bad at physical war
