the servers he got from the twitter acquisition will probably need total overhaul in about 2 years at most. That would have been a foolish reason to buy it. He probably bought it for a controlled platform and centralization of his other technologies.
While X has attention for the "Social Platform" function their are many uses for in allowing communication from software/bots for automation purposes. Having a platform for all of the Tesla's, SpaceX junk, and other technologies to interact automatically and clandestinely has a much higher value than the silicon that it runs on.

This. I could also see it as an intel operation. How many people have the twitter app on their devices?
You could probably acquire your own datacenters for a lot cheaper than 44 billion. There is something in the twitter farm they want.
