This serves him somehow, not sure how but he's used social media and PR to make money through market manipulation before.
I doubt his mental math is accurate on the value loss anyways.
Or he's just a narcissist that can't run a company if he's not held on a leash by people who actually know what they're doing.
He got high on his own supply. The man created quite the aura by leveraging his less-than-glorious Paypal past, his taking over of Tesla and actually doing some interesting things with SpaceX. His companies achieved some genuinely impressive feats which he gladly attributed to himself and probably confined himself to his perceived genius and infallibility.
Hopefully, Twitter will be a teaching moment for him but so far he seems to just double down on his mistakes.
