It turns out that startup funding for Signal was from a US Government tied entity. Some people won’t like that. Here’s an interesting article: Signal Facing Collapse After CIA Cuts Funding

Someone already commented on the "nothing-burger" this article and line of reasoning actually is, so I won't repeat it here.

$19m / 50 = $380,000 per year per employee!!!

This $19M figure includes more things. That's why a blog post shouldn't be read as an accounting report. Report summaries with salary figures are available btw, one search away.

The infrastructure was not designed to minimize the cost of operations, it was designed for another purpose, data collection by third parties:

The quoted text is not evidence for this. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Elon Musk also promotes Signal:

He promotes Linux too. Also, I bet he drinks water.

I see some valid concerns / questions, but it's immersed in a muddy water of arguments that is hard to disentangle.
