Somebody explain to me again about Twitter, please.
Specifically, how do they make money off it?

They haven't yet, as far as I know.
The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

To the extent they do, isn't it ads?

Same way Google and Facebook make their money. Twitter is small fry though compared to those too.

The ads are a minor cost-offsetting measure. As in the meat world it might be ads on public transit (which is not expected to turn a profit).
I'm guessing someone (or a group of someones) is quietly subsidizing Twitter.
