I think I don't get the point in this video. Could someone maybe share more context?

I don’t see a video at all. Just a tweet with the text below

  @elonmusk
   
  
  In Europe, the bird will fly by our  rules.
  
  #DSA

There's a video in a first comment

That's a tweet from May with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyOYSTmvIQ4

its a veiled threat because elon is a self-described free speech absolutist where the eu does not believe in significant chunks of free speech (so called disinformation or hate). tbh i hope he closes any physical EU presence and ignores all of brussels laws.

If that leads to a removal of Twitter from app stores in the EU, yes, please!

If he wants to leave the European market he is free to do so, but unless he wants to provide Twitter without getting any revenue stream, closing physical offices is not enough.

As long as he wants to sell ads here, Twitter must comply with our rules and laws and can be cut off from it's (paying) customers otherwise.

"As long as he wants to sell ads here"

Is Musk's goal to actually make money with Twitter or make some sort of ideological point?

I assume the people who actually financed most of the deal want some ROI.

But if they are also motivated by something different it could happen.
