Plenty of smooth talkers are gonna be rooted out soon
His strategy for rooting out smooth talkers is to let them just talk about what they've done?
If you (still) work at Twitter and you can code, head to the HQ now

#22Imagine thinking you can judge anything about a developer (especially Senior/Staffs) from screenshots of code. Elon has truly lost the plot.
That would be nice. I know a senior developer that doesn't actually do anything, he had like 2 small CLs this year. But apparently he can't be fired, so he is just there, increasing work load for everyone else.

#23I can barely believe this man started a spaceflight company. He must have had some incredibly subordinates to pull that off; not only did they have to deal with him, but they also had to bootstrap spaceflight.
I think a big part of SpaceX successes are due to Elon letting Gwynn Shotwell manage the company.

I'm seriously wondering if this is drug related. I dont think he was always this erratic.
Specifically the drugs required to stave off sleep, and the psychological effects of lack of sleep.

#25At this point I am curious how long Twitter could run with no one at the helm.
How long can the systems chug along with no one watching.

#26Did Elon lead his other companies this way and we just didn’t know? Or has he suddenly lost his ability to make good decisions?
This is probably eyewash to flush out leakers. Sent different emails with changed details.
Even if this is eyewash to flush out leakers... why spend the time doing this as the owner of the company? There seems to be a lot more important work they could be tackling on instead of being a meme lord to a bunch of 14 year olds.

#28The thing I don't get is the hyper-focus on salient or "fancy" code. We're not all Jeff Dean and most code is bland and boring plumbing work anyways. Even in awesome ML powered systems, it's still 99% bland foundation, 1% cool algorithms. Hell, as a manager, you don't want only "rockstar" developers because they'll become bored working on the plumbing code, which again, is most work. From datascience there's the phrase "Everyone wants to do the model work, not the data work" and it sounds like he wants only those people? Why?

#29I like the spirit of that though. Reminds me my startup days.

That single puff of a joint on JRE definitely decreased his IQ by 40-80 points.
