There's a lot of suggestions of what one might accomplish with this exploit, but I'm not sure they would be obviously more lucrative than this. Any time you use it, you're likely to lose it, so its value is pretty precarious. How much can you really accomplish in a few hours?
People get hacked so often on twitter that there's already substantial doubt ("did they get hacked?") whenever somebody tweets something odd, so I really doubt you could accomplish some diabolical geopolitical aim that some seem to expect.
And as if it's so straightforward to find a terrorist billionaire that's willing to pay top dollar to use it to start a war or something to that end.

People have made far more from things Elon has tweeted. Now billions is ridiculous, but you could have made millions via market manipulation. Not to mention the amount of damage had he done a targeted exploit - there would be a ton of speculation as to whether Elon/Trump/Gates was "really" hacked or if it was just a cover.
