Perhaps he doesn’t know about the technical side. Remember he was fired from PayPal for insisting on using Windows for the servers.
Maybe this is what he means by a “total rewrite”.

#7"Musk, who also likened Twitter to a plane crash..." Musk is the pilot of that $44 billion plane. This is the same company that he convinced himself and a bunch of investors was worth all that money. He should have figured out what a disaster it was before signing that contract. This is what happens when you make investment decisions while on the can and poop tweet about them.

You're extremely technically competent and I think really understand how to how to drive things in a in a good direction. You know I I really love how you're also leaning into the voice of the people and letting you know them have a say as well *but*..."
