2. On Thursday, October 27, Twitter product leaders showed Tesla software engineers (brought in by Musk) the company code. These Tesla engineers are reviewing the code in preparation for a confidential briefing for Musk early next week.

3. Twitter software engineers are locked out of the code, other than a few exceptions personally approved by Musk.

I hope Elon Musk exposes any government involvement in Twitter that may have suppressed votes prior to any of the recent elections.

[BBQToadRibs2]

I hope he publicly announces the findings of what we already know. The code is highly politically skewed.

“No code checkins are allowed.”

He’s trying to make sure the employees aren’t going to sabotage the system. There will be a source code management system, check a module out, make code changes, check it back in. He’s trying to leave any current code changes sitting outside the system.

These Tesla engineers are reviewing the code in preparation for a confidential briefing for Musk early next week.

Trying to review all of the code for a briefing to Musk early next week is going to result in weekend work for some unlucky Tesla engineers, and it will only be a high-level review. In-depth code reviews take time.

Yep.....there’s a reason they’re panties are in a knot

If it’s the same guys who designed Tesla’s batteries,,,”blowing up on Twitter” will take on a whole new meaning.

It should not just be the code but also the AI models used to censor posts.

[Col Frank Slade]

Audit the code oh my this is going to be fun !

Code is still shadowbanning conservatives.

I’ve been wondering for some time if Mr. Musk might have had his resident geniuses working on methods to detect electronic vote fraud. I’m sure he would want to make certain his new Republican vote is properly counted, and everyone else’s as well.
