He says a lot of things and never ships. We have to very be stupid to cite his promises as news at this point. Do we never learn? Just to remind you, he "fully expected" to have robotaxies in 2017, and put humans on Mars by 2020. He blocked fast speed train projects and took public money to build a Hyperloop he never built. And so on, the list goes on forever.
In the case of Twitter, he joined in late October last year talking about the "everything app", talking about how soon we'll be able to make payment transactions, monetize ads in replies, see detailed information how and why we're shadowbanned, compete with YouTube, make Twitter an "optimized giant neural network" and, oh, save humanity from the "woke mind virus" because "nothing else matters if this is not solved".
He says literally whatever. What he shipped so far is few underbaked features started before he bought the company, and wrecked the verification system in a failed attempt to monetize Twitter (by reports he lost 89% of ad revenue which was 5 billion a year, to earn about 600k Blue subscribers for revenue of less than 50 million a year, do the math).
Watch what he ships, not what he says.
