I’m interested to know about what makes Moxie a bit dubious, can you share more information? I have to say I’m slightly fascinated by the character, but it’s true it doesn’t tell anything about why I should trust him.

I have to say that I find him fascinating too, but there are a few things that raise my suspicion, but of course do not convict him of anything:
The way he is attacking this alternative Signal client and rules out interoperability:

Signal was a word before he decided to turn it into a brand.
The signal server source code repo was not updated for a year. Communication intransparent.

I am not even against crypto integration, but I found the choice of MobileCoin odd. Instead of integrating an existing privacy coin or working with the community, he decided to integrate MOB and to be one of their "advisors":
