1 min summary: Deep State / CIA / NATO + their ilk need a global (controlled) brainwashing tool (both domestic and abroad reach) AND a fake alternative social media organization tool for organizing colour revolutions and coups in countries of interest. X is the fake "free speech" platform to enable push DS agenda in most countries, so they have to give it a bit leeway to do other things, so it looks credible. Telegram is the de facto "alternative" tool for organizing fake grassroots colour revolutions in countries that have tight controls on the bigger social media.
So, both Pavel Durov and Elon Musk are in a leash, both under the control and being exploited by the deep state. They get to enjoy the benefits of running the show, but don't get to control their assets.
