I'd be pissed off if I were a TSLA stock owner. Is Twitter paying Tesla to contract out these employees for their work? Otherwise, it's tons of thousands of dollars Tesla is pissing away on behalf of the CEO's side-hustle.

If someone completely new to my codebase came along and tried to evaluate my code I'd laugh. You can't jump in and "evaluate" without knowing context and being familiar with the features.
I’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.
I'm curious as to how existing Twitter employees get compensated after the sale. Do they have to stay for some amount of time to collect payouts on their shares? These actions only make logical sense if the goal is to make life unpleasant for employees, and get a lot of them to quit.

What a weird thing to say. I can evaluate any code. If it’s code I’m unfamiliar with it takes longer, and the result is more variable, but it’s far from impossible. It’s certainly more reliable than the evaluation of the person whose job depends on it being evaluated as correct.
Or the folio patchset. People had a variety of reactions to it, whole lot of energy was spent evaluating that code (which in the end also made it in)
The person whose job it was to make the patch and who has interest in it being correct is not necessarily less reliable than a random HN commenter
You would probably think otherwise if it was your code and some other random commenter with no domain knowledge evaluating it, wouldn't you?
FYI, I don't own a Tesla or own their stock or own any stock in Musk owned companies. I don't even follow his twitter account.
