But Musk has talked a big game about his plans for Twitter and, a couple of years down the road, it's not really clear that he's made anything about the platform better.

It’s very clear that he hasn’t, I’m not sure why the equivocation. None of his changes are improvements. Things that worked before are broken. Things that were broken before are still broken or actively worse. The site is bleeding users, advertisers, and money at an increasing rate. The rebrand is probably one of the greatest unforced errors in financial history. It’s not bad journalism to point out that the dumpster you’re writing about is on fire.
