I dont expect too much from this. For example, they might easily use the money to create a new platform as anti-free-speech competitor to the new twitter. Also the US government might come down hard on him abusing the courts. They already started their lawfare campaign against him.

No amount of money will help him against a political judge / jury. They will throw everything and the kitchen sink against him. They cannot afford to let him win because they know their complete building of lies, fakery, and intimidation will collapse.

With the pile of cash he has, I wouldn't be surprised if he buys an island, Starlinks it up, declares it the Republic of Twitter, and tells the government to go fuck itself.
