Signal has been a primary method of communication for federal workers looking to blow the whistle on DOGE.

    Didn’t Signal get big after Musk endorsed it? What gives?

      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.

      Not really. It’s still not big. It definitely got bigger after he supported it though.
