Ah I realized that I wasn't clear before - I meant they don't have enough "knowledgeable" hands on the keyboard. Can't assign people onto a system they know nothing about and expect them to produce anything meaningful in the short term.

I heard this bring claimed, but without any insider knowledge about what’s going on at Twitter with the tech/dev people who stayed on, it’s hard to know how true it is.

Big difference - Twitter's current lean staffing doesn't have the institutional knowledge, while Tesla's employees were able to build up the knowledge (and pass it along).

I'll try an analogy:
Imagine Dan/JJ decide to suddenly retire 1 day and pass DDMS to MendelRandom without passing him any of the knowledge. Not to disparage MendelRandom, but DDMS would never be the same. This is Twitter now.

However, imagine MendelRandom decided to start MRDMS 15 years ago and build it up organically. This is Tesla.
No idea how many engineers and developers they retained, but clearly Elon is less risk averse to trying new things out that would have taken much longer to be implemented under previous leadership.

I can see this as a "gain of function" discussion.
One person asking a question with one meaning and another person answering the question with another meaning.
Yup, it's semantics at this point.

It is unlikely to ever come before a jury to decide.

Of course. All they need to do is create sound bytes.

If someone told him all you have to do is apologize and everything would be fine, he probably would have.
Especially if you can keep doing it and just apologize again.

i believes that there is nothing wrong being a racist
its a problem when your racist ideology efects others in negative light

i don't like everyone, but we need to recognize that we live with everyone regardless of our liking
