I don't put much faith into these "sudden change of hearts", but I can say I do get what it must be like to be a loser all your life and at some point figure things out.
I don't discard that Mark is going through what most of us did when we were in our early 20's, grasping the reality of the world.

I think that leverage plays a massive part here.
Remember the hype between the supposed cage fight between Musk and Zuckerberg?
It would have been embarrassing to both guys and yet I believe Musk let it slide hoping that it was going to quietly go away.
Currently he's in a better position than Zuck and since Facebook I don't think Zuck turned out to be any kind of Renaissance man.
They both struggle with human interaction/being manipulated by more sinister people and yet both their platforms are designed from an end-user perspective to facilitate just that.
But in terms of feeding an AI raw, unfiltered data they are both in the right place to the right time.
If I'm trying to think how that would benefit Elon then it has to be the merging of Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Twitterx.
The type of investment required to facilitate such an entity would either come directly from Musk as it's possible with his checkbook but much more likely an investment company like Blackrock for example would put up a significant amount in the process.
For me the game looks like singularity at all levels of our experience. All big business will merge eventually exactly as portrayed in the movie Wall-E.
Nobody gets to the end of the game Monopoly without experiencing ruthless greed or complete devastation.
There is no situation in Monopoly where things stabilize.
The roll of the dice may only delay destruction of all players except the victor.
In a real world setting the levers of leverage is sometimes much less obvious however I do believe that combining Monopoly with the ideology of the fictional Borg rounded off with a satanic cherry on top is the cake they're bringing for the surprise party.
I do not believe that Elon has ever experienced an altruistic day in his entire life but sometimes he uses that image because it furthers his ambitions.
Corporate politics is one the most soul sucking endeavors ever embraced by mankind.
There once was a lawsuit between Ford and Dodge where the Dodge Brothers as shareholders in Ford took Ford to court because Henry wanted to share more of the wealth with his workers while Dodge argued that a company's primary concern should be its shareholders.
If you're into coincidental occult symbolism, here's the logo of the Dodge Brothers back in the day:
