someone in the thread pointed out these emails are just a way of him trying to find out who leaks things to the press. weird but maybe possible?
also, new tweets seem to be loading way slower than before. 5s or more

he seems to make a habit of making people around him repeatedly justify their qualifications for being there, which miiiiight be a bit of projection on his part, maybe something that a forbidden recess of his mind keeps trying to bring up

if i were him and committed to fake cinematic boss bullshit i would at least ask like what ideas of yours have made twitter a million dollars or more, thats actually an interesting thought experiment, and peoples answers would probably at least give you some insight into how they work and think, but some screenshots of code who gives a shit its totally meaningless, ask them how much code theyve deleted its a much more useful activity

Elon Musk is also asking for up 10 screenshots of the "most salient lines of code" from Twitter engineers
I had a low opinion of Elon, but I didn't think he was this stupid about software. (assuming this isn't a leak detector)
― death generator (lukas), Friday, 18 November 2022 17:40 (one year ago) link
its not about leaks hes been doing this the whole time number of lines committed was one of the things they looked at when deciding who to fire

yeah but what is a "salient line of code"??? does he think there's going to be like one line of code that's brilliant and impactful in isolation?
"yeah this line is the differential equation that figures out how to align memory allocation to page boundaries, taking into account virtualization and cache latency"
actually ... brb about to go raise $10M of dumb money
― death generator (lukas), Friday, 18 November 2022 17:54 (one year ago) link
but can you directly buy, sell or trade those nft avatars, on twitter? because wow, when they do that it's going to bring a lot of attention to the amazing auto-generated nft images that are out there and drive up the value. there are some really, really good images out there, people are spending a ton of time looking at them and enjoying them

I got the impression Musk has no non-superficial nor real interest in code or even productivity necessarily (CEOs have earned a lot of time to 'use their own product' all day sure sure) and this is just a way of filtering out the insubordinates.
