As for Musk, I expect him to backpedal sooner than later. If advertisers go away due to reduced eyeballs, how's he gonna pay the dept he incurred when buying Twitter?

At this point there be no explanation other than he's tanking it on purpose. Twitter was definitely the growing enemy of many authoritarian government. Considering where got funding for his "loan" it's a relatively cheap way to bring down such service by oligarchy wealth standards.
I don't disbelieve you per se but could you point me towards some evidence of authoritarian governments funding him?
Maybe governments was not the correct phrase. "investors with ties to authoritarian governments" would be more accurate. Qatar Holding, Saudi Arabian investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, and Binance. A lot of funds also came from VC and typical investment firms and LLCs. A list from Reuters.
