What you claim is clearly incorrect. First, major news outlets all over the world are still linking to twitter posts daily, not least because most of the worlds journalists are still actively using twitter, so obviously this feature still works. Also, there has never been more product development on Twitter/X than since the Musk takeover. Examples include community notes, creator revenue sharing and the features tied to the purchased blue checkmark (eg. Posts longer than 280 chars).

The major handicapping of the platform compared to earlier is that only the post linked to is now visible to non-users, whereas the whole thread it was part of was previously visible.
