#3> One former Tesla engineer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly describe the matter but was not involved, said Tesla engineers would have trouble capably assessing Twitter’s code. Distributed systems, the large-scale and spread-out network that Twitter is composed of, are not the automaker’s specialty, the person said.

It is laughable, and it's just another signal that Elon has no clue what he's doing. Imagine how farcical the whole thing felt to anyone involved who isn't him.

#4Kind of insulting but understandable coming from an owner that just bought a new toy. He should have done it before he bought it.
It's interesting how much publicity this whole situation is getting. Musk must be loving it.

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.

#7This is pretty standard procedure when a company gets bought. The new owners will conduct a review and decide who to keep and who to get rid of. They have probably been given a target of how many people they want to lay off and are evaluating who is worth keeping.
It’s not worth staying at a company that gets acquired, you’ll either get laid off or be asked to do the same work with less people, and awful morale.

14 months ago a lot of people said it was “laughable” that Tesla thought they’d have a working prototype of a humanoid robot in under a year…
I’ll take Tesla engineer’s over 95% of the industry any day.

Is it as working as their FSD?

The primary reason enterprise distributed systems software are complicated is that most code is hidden behind teams of teams of teams of hundreds of mediocre people, not inherent complexity.
