That messaging is for investors. To a dev's ears, it's a meaningless thing to say.

It reminds me when Elon took over twitter and made a comment to the effect of "we need to rethink the entire tech stack from the ground up". Someone asked Elon what was wrong with the tech stack, and he called them a jackass.

It's quite insane that twitter went from 7500 -> 1500 employees and the site didn't implode. 80% of the people gone.

Considering the trajectory of x then x.ai then SpaceX as the holding structure the Twitter purchase investors must’ve done well for themselves.

Eh, depends on what you mean by "implode."

Before the buyout (2021), twitter made $5.1 billion in ad revenue ($6.22 billion inflation-adjusted).

In 2025, it made about $2 billion.

So Twitter is now about 1/3rd of what it was (revenue wise) when purchased.
