No he's right - Signal is currently a worse copy of Whatsapp that offers almost nothing better than that product. It seems to be outright failing with it's strategy at being better.
No, WhatsApp - in the hands of Zuckerberg - can never be better when it comes to the things which matter for those who choose Signal for its privacy-preserving traits. This is why I assume there should be <sarcasm/> tags around the claim of it being better.

It already is better for the 2B+ people that still use WhatsApp over something that is demonstrably worse, hence why little to almost no-one bothered to switch to Signal in the first place.
Given that you still need a phone number to use Signal, your privacy is out of the window since it sends that phone number to a third party (Twilio).
At this point, you might as well use WhatsApp. Signal is a worse version of WhatsApp.
