The concept of a Majorana particle based quantum computer is very cool, however the claims of MS on their accomplishments are dubious based on the data they show.
Take the latest publication, looking for a spectral signature of interference is the most basic aspect - ultimately you would want to be able to control and check the phase information of quantum particle in an individual and time-resolved manner. In a sense, this is what a topological qubit would amount to. Claiming topological qubit without any supporting evidence makes the paper and claims fragile.
MS will have to show a lot more to overcome the reputation they have built since the first papers were retracted from 2017-2018.
