Elon Musk says Twitter is roughly breaking even. That looks like vindication for his haphazard management but that won't work to make it profitable.

• Elon Musk's reign of chaos at Twitter may have saved it from collapse, but there's a long way to go.

• But the same aggressive strategy won't work if he wants to turn a long-term profit.

In the nearly six months since Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter, its employees might be forgiven for feeling like they're being ruled by a chaos agent.
