Most comments fail miserably to understand the underlying meaning of such move. Most comments critics the lack of usefullness of such request. Most comments are funneled in a technological sideration, and fail to consider such request in a context of power take over, social hierarchy and group dynamic. Please, stop being hypnotized. And think a little out of the box of your modern, sterilized, way of thinking. Also, it is well known that Musk hiring process emphazises on "doer" profile. Not only the activities of his company are highly seducing to high intellectual profiles, Musk over select them based on the "doer" criteria. People highly intelligent, but emprisonned only in theorical masturbation are not selected. "Show me your code" is nothing different than "show me the rocket you build in your yard" Lot of smart people can talk about rocket. Only a few are doing rocket. Lot of smart people can talk about code, only a few are coding. So Musk is just trying to detect who are the 20% coders from the dev staff that are doing the 80% of the work. In order to fire the 80% remaining as promised. This is the first time he bought a big company which was not designed from origin by his paradigm. Most of big company are kindergarden (to be nice to them). Musk now is turning twitter from kindergarden to efficient, profitable structure, in regards to Tesla or SpaceX. This is quite a big challenge, as far as Elon's paradigms were not part of the inner culture, staffing policies of the company, since birth. Let's see how it will go. ps: If once, you place yourself in the field of complexity, collective intelligence, group dynamic, you first understand that companies structure are the only allowed (accepted) form of experimentation by the capitalism system. The family structure has been totally destroyed by promoting all kind of law attacking the inner mecanism of family structure viability. Therefore blocking all possibility of collective intelligence from it. The religious structure has been totally destroyed by instillating all kind of memetic virus such as new-age bullshit to sabotage all the core mechanism of religious structure to offer any fertile environment of collective intelligence. The only allowed space is the business and company. In such paradigm, every company is an experiment of collective intelligence, group dynamic, and complex system. Twitter, or any kind of social media have a special place in this experiment. As far as their main business is collective intelligence itself, (introduction of recursion principle). So for all peoples asking themselves why Musk made this purchase. It's seems pretty logical. As far as the efficiency he demonstrated to design very fertile environment for the emergence of a outclassing collective intelligence, demonstrates that he is well aware of the topic. And purchasing twitter will only (i hope) allow him to enter the metalevel of collective intelligence experiments.
