Why would this increase costs? I doubt Elon Musk is spending much money on the development of this, and I don't see many people using this app so I doubt it'd hike hosting and bandwidth demands significantly.
It sounds like a YouTube clone from the article, so long form videos storage and streaming isn't cheap, a lot more expensive than what x usually hosts in terms of bandwidth and storage per views. But yeah also seems like a niche use case.
Still no way there's a net cost benefit to video hosting from as revenue.
