All I can say, having lived through this a whole lot, is that a lot of media owners truly think they are going to be the exception, the one who makes money. They collectively remember the days when media ownership was a rocketship to wealth, so they expect it will be for them, too.
a thing i simply cannot get over, as The Media collapses for i think the 5th time in my adult life, is what the fuck business the people who own these publications think they are in. shouldn’t the point be to just make enough money making the articles to make more articles

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

This is not accidental. They can't keep spreading conspiracy theories about what USAID was doing (at least not as easily) if the genuine records are right there, publicly available for everyone to read.
There have to be consequences for this down the road. People need to pay for actions like these.

Over 200,000 records from USAID’s Development Experience Clearinghouse, a publicly available online repository documenting nearly 50 years of USAID’s projects, is gone. Taxpayer property stolen by Musk and his cronies. It’s a crime.

Seen a few "at least we'll always have [writer/artist/performer name here]". You might not! When the details of Whedon's behaviour came out, people were saying it about Gaiman!
