These are publicly managed Twitter accounts, they probably don't have any DMs of substance.

I'll bet that Bill Gates doesn't have much on his Twitter, but I'll also bet Elon Musk has some crazy DMs.
Then again, the market for crazy is pretty saturated these days. Hard to see how to monetize it, at least in Musk's case.
DMing SEC
They potentially had access to any account they wanted. You don't know that they weren't snarfing DMs on interesting accounts while having the celeb accounts panhandle for bitcoin after.
Is Musks account really publicly managed? He probably has an agency helping him but I doubt he'd use another account for DMs.
You'd be surprised. Some celebrities might engage in salacious activities via DM but even the most boring corporation can have lots of customer information in support chats.
