[...] and while X has added some features, like job listings and a new video tab, there’s little sign of the service he’d said would be able to “someone’s entire financial life” by the end of 2024.

Yeah, wasn't his dream to create some unified platform with X, a "super-app" that does everything? I guess if he was able to follow up on his promises, that'd generate some revenue.... Instead, it's always been some moderately toxic platform (albeit well used) and then just took a turn for the worse. I think "uninspiring" is a good word for this. But it's definitely not his employees who are at fault, here.

If that was legitimately his goal then he should have kept the developers on that he got rid of, and just retasked them.
