He's also made the product almost unusable for a lot of people that don't use Twitter for political purposes.
As somebody who used twitter in a non-political way to follow interesting people in hobbies I like, I've gone from daily user to not using it at all. My feed became full of US politics and extreme viewpoints from people who are idiots (on both sides, but mostly US right-wing). I never subscribed to any of these tweets, they were just thrust on my feed.
I am neither pro nor con Elon, but from the outside it's been an unmitigated disaster, and I can think of no 'wins' that have come up.
In fact, his work at twitter has severely harmed Elon's reputation as a genius amongst people that didn't really know or care about him.
