They're not boasting that it's up and running; they're boasting that the people that tweeted about Twitter burning or going down are idiots. And they are idiots.

If they're boasting about anything, it's that Twitter is getting more users, is faster, and there's less hate. Before Elon, Twitter was a place where employees were paid $180k to endlessly redesign icons and have DEI meetings. The new Twitter is a lot leaner.

The new lean twitter has no payroll department to pay wages.

But Elon has also stated multiple times that Twitter is the best and most accurate place for news. This is directly contradicted by the fact that the "twitter is burning down" rumor was spread on twitter and lots of uninformed people believed it because they saw it everywhere on twitter lol.
