I think Musk is overpaying for it. Twitter has really struggled to make a profit and there's no obvious way to sort that out. The share price has been higher in the past but you could argue it was over valued last year rather than under valued today.
It seems like the board of directors initially didn't believe he could get the finance together to actually buy it but now he's proven that, the board has a fiduciary duty to seriously consider it.

Apparently it made 3.28 billion in 2021, nearly 40% up from 2020. That gives a P/E ratio of around 15 which is pretty good IMO.

Twitter is a basket case. Since its founding in 2006, it has made an annual loss every year but two - in 2018 and 2019.
Compare the share price in 2013 when it went public to today vs buying Meta or Google in 2013. Or even against the broader S&P500 index in 2013. Tech outperformed the index whilst twitter underperformed the index.
That link is to the gross profit rather than net income which paints a very different story. Also I'm not entirely sure where you got the P/E ratio from?
Twitter hired Goldman Sachs to value them, they valued twitter in February at $30 per share (market value was $37 a share back then) and gave a status of "Sell".

Musk isn't buying Twitter because he's spotted something the wisdom of the market (mankind's collective valuation of PLCs) has failed to identify, if we take him at his word “I don’t care about the economics at all" then he sees it as a social good. Whether the rest of think he's best placed to lead such a noble endeavour is another matter.
