They effectively disabled the developer API via absurd pricing. That alone would cancel a ton of projects/teams due to the load that likely placed on their servers. The user experience is also not even close to the same, while they've not really added any new features that likely weren't already in the pipeline. Not even to mention their tanking revenue and valuation. It's not even close to a "working the same as before" company.

Your definition of "working" needs work. Nothing you said contradicts the parent.

I think OP just meant it was working to strip Twitter of the majority of its operating costs so it can be transformed into a sweatshop profit machine (but, in that case, I disagree, since its not making a profit).

So what you're saying is everything anyone using Twitter cares about is working just fine.

I guess, unless you're also making the assumption that the number of daily users has remained the same from pre-elon acquisition. I promise you that is not the case. There's also that pesky profitability problem.

From my point of view, just not. I went from using Twitter a lot to gaining a lot of free time ... be because overall experience now sux in many small ways.

Whereas there used to be interesting exchanges and threads before, algorithm now promotes similar nonsensical short responses again and again. The stuff on top is just not interesting anymore.
