It seems that this statement can lead to different conclusions based on one's biases for or against Musk / freedom of speech:

1) The code base is a mess because the smaller, current team don't know what they're doing and/or management (i.e. Musk) is pushing them too hard and making poor decisions

2) The code base is a mess because the far greater number of engineers there before didn't know what they were doing and/or management weren't pushing them hard enough and were making poor decisions.

Both could be true but I'm going with something the more complex view that it's a little bit of everything, and that Twitter does seem to be moving in a positive direction overall.

Why do you say Twitter is moving in a positive direction? My experience is that I dislike their app and they killed the one I liked (Tweetbot), it's frequently down (I still get the "Something went wrong" error), and any kind of conversation is dead because blue-check replies (usually quite low-quality) are prioritised. There are other reasons to dislike today's Twitter that I needn't go into here, but these are enough to turn me away any time I decide to come back and check it out again.
