Didn't Signal get big after Musk endorsed it? What gives?
Yup. I started using it in part because of his tweet
4years ago yeah https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-signal
Yes, but then last year he started saying it had known vulnerabilities that weren’t being fixed, around the same time Telegram was attacking Signal’s credibility. I seem to remember him outright endorsing Telegram but have only done a quick search and that hasn’t popped up.

His source: Trust me bro
Not really. It's still not big. It definitely got bigger after he supported it though.
