Guarantee you those software engineers have so many back doors embedded in so many routines within the coding that it will take a complete shutdown of the servers containing the code and many hours of scanning runs to identify them all. Software engineers believe in job security and make sure any job losses trigger failsafe and kill switches. Just say in

My running assumption is that any changes to code is logged for time and date?

Hmm. Do Tesla engineers have the time to do this and their jobs at Tesla? Sounds implausible.

Y’all guys kind of make me laugh.
I have a Degree in Computuer science.
I can design computer languages, Compilers, Interpreters. et al.
I also am an electronics engineer that knows how the electronics work at the lowest levels.
Coders are overpaid idiots, so are most electronics engineer
fresh out of school.
Any decent guy like me can take their system apart, if they didn’t booby trap the whole darn thing.
if they did we can re-write it because we know how to do it from transistor to RTL, to Microcode.
Full disclosure; my favorite job was Real time software.
look that one up.

IF they wrote code they way they checked tweets that’ll be an ugly task

The problem is they’ve had months to rewrite the code to hide the evidence.

Had there been a sudden takeover of Twitter WITHOUT WARNING in say, January - how much does anybody wanna bet they would have found all kinds of malfeasance and overt leftist censorship in the code?

One of the smartest first moves I’ve ever seen done in a buyot/takeover. Who knows what boobytraps they could have put in the code or what they may have been hiding from him. Very shrewd move on Elon’s part.

I love how former Twitter software engineers are saying the code is too complicated and advanced for Telsa software engineers to understand. MMMM, more complicated then making cars drive themselves? More complicated then a space rocket? More complicated then hundreds of satellites communicating between themselves to coordinate internet traffic from anywhere on the planet to anywhere else on the planet? Me thinks the Twitter Engineers think too highly of themselves...... I also think that Twitter engineers job was so easy that they spent most of the day reading Tweets and banning those they did not like. And built bots to promote political causes!

IT folks all know there’s a little thing for public companies called “SOX Compliancy”. If anyone bypassed the change-control/approval process, it would be... very, very bad.

Has Elon got rid of the third bathrooms in Twitter headquarters yet?
