SpaceX does the same thing with Tesla engineers, and they pay contracting fees to do this, which is completely above board legally speaking.

#32Didn't Musk get rich solving complex problems? The ink isn't even dry yet and there is a rush to judgement, speculation, and wild assumptions that are simply shameful. How many cars did Tesla sell on the day after his investment?

I heard that what typically happens in this situation is that one company pays the other a consulting fee. In this case Twitter paying Tesla.

#34I’m still looking for a concise term for “someone who claims to be an expert but immediately reveals beyond any doubt that they have no clue what they’re saying, simply by opening their mouth on the subject.” Having Tesla engineers over to review Twitter code is definitely that. It’s ridiculous.
It's just another thing to add to the pile that should make anybody question why on earth people think he is a genius.
The mythos he has created around himself is comical and it's mind-blowing that anyone actually believes it. He literally spends his entire day trolling on social media, yet people think he's out there solving the world's greatest engineering problems.

I was thinking that, perhaps.
But doesn’t that imply that Elon knows he’s a fraud and is trying to trick others? I don’t think Elon realizes he’s a fraud.
It’s like the opposite of impostor syndrome. When someone speaks with total confidence and absolute garbage comes out of their mouth.

At the moment, my default position on all stories out of Twitter is that they didn't happen unless confirmed officially by Twitter. And the more nonsensical the story, the firmer that belief is for me.

From Musk’s POV, a bunch of solid, well-rounded, and experienced engineers you trust might be enough to tell you “this guy is full of shit” when talking to new people. Maybe it’s less about code quality and more about eng quality.
I guarantee Elon is surrounded by yes-men.
