which resources does tg have that signal don’t?

Telegram has investors and revenue streams that far surpass anything Signal has (even with Acton/Marlinspike's generous endowment).

This means they can hire more employees. In fact, telegram has more than 10 times the employees and 25 times the funding than signal has.

Pavel Durov is a dollar billionaire, so that’s something.
his money is not unlimited though

Telegram is burning at least $100m a year

That's a luxury that signal does not have.
