Or … none of those could end up being true. I remember a lot of projection about how Elon was going to restore Twitter to the ‘early days’, and none of that has come to pass either.

I’d rather judge on things that have actually happened than have to deal with a new set of forward looking projections about what could happen every few months.

I am remember having a bit of hope that an easy win could be he making changes to regain trust from developers and make Twitter a more dynamic platform with a more open API. Turns out, he did exactly the opposite and led to even more distrust from third party developers.

It adds nothing to reply to someone saying that the changes at twitter could be good and influential by saying "but they could also be bad." It's already implied in the could.

If you're leaving all prediction and forecasting to other people, why complain when they do it?

I'm not pointing out that they could be bad — I'm pointing out that there's a good track record of them not happening at all, particularly when it comes to Musk.
