6 months ago I would fully agree with this statement, the only context this is missing is the advent of nostr. Now we have an open social backend, which is interoperable with any client. This is a game changer. Using twitters large network as a selling point is like saying, the traditional phones don’t need to worry because smart phones only make about 5% of the market share, in 2005.

I also don’t have anything against musk, he is a great, though sometimes questionable guy, he just helmed a dying company at a very wrong time.
