So in effect nothing was lost in the long run, except for Elon spending $44 million for us to freely shitpost for a few weeks.

I'd mostly stopped using twitter and I can go back to not using twitter again. Hell, I found out about turbo-shitposters on Fedi because of it, so I consider it a win at least.
