If it was such an important cog on the disinformation wheel, why would the Deep State risk selling it? They said it was a powerful tool in elections, too. How and why did this go down? Would the Deep State risk letting truth shine in any corner?

If they didn't sell it, Twitter's board would get sued personally and could face criminal charges.
They fought tooth and nail to prevent its purchase, if you don't recall.
If they didn't sell to Elon at his generous offer, each individual share holder could have sued the board in a class-action lawsuit. All of them would have gone down civilly and then also be investigated for criminal disenfranchisement of the stock holders they are on the board to protect to begin with.
If you actively go against the interests of the stock holders you represent, it's potentially criminal.
They had to sell, otherwise risk losing all their money AND going to jail after a lengthy investigation as to why they sought to screw over the people they were "chosen" to represent concerning their stocks.
Elon je-baited them with his lawsuits, and forced them to beg him to buy. Now we are here.
They delayed it and fought tooth and nail - you're absolutely correct I wonder how much actual shit was scrubbed/removed from their servers in that time. Considering how quickly some of the trafficking hastags were identified and removed I am sure the real incriminating stuff was probably already removed during that time frame.
Absolutely. I just wanted to add that the board would have had Directors and Officers insurance (D&O)and if they were smart, individually they would have carried personal umbrellas. (Some members of the board were well off, but not 'rich', so a lawsuit could have destroyed them personally. )
However, D&O will not pay though for things like fraud, intentional criminal acts, illegal remuneration or personal profit. They could have taken the risk, but my guess is the skeletons in the closet prevented that. They got painted into the corner. And it is beautiful.
