I understand a that a platform and database consisting of thousands of pseudo-intellectual people is worth a lot of money, but how does a company actually earn money with twitter? How is it monetized or could be monetiozed? How can twitter be valuable to a shareholder?

Advertisement you mean? You can sell ads that get promoted into certain people's Twitter feed, whether they like it or not. (They don't get added to everyone's feed, but based on your relevant interests or something like that.)
Then there's promotion through Twitter accounts that have a lot of followers. Kim Kardashian tweeting about some product would reach millions of people.

Oh, I never noticed there are ads on Twitter!
