> Printing it out as a mark of honor/shame is something a petty, arrogant tyrant would do I'll call it... after talking to a few twitter engineers who said they didn't hear anything about that. "Printing it out" is fake news. "Reviewing code in the last 60 days" is probably real. It seems fake news is okay as long as it fits our narrative.

It's not. There have been multiple twitter engineers that have shared that the print out stuff was real [1]. [1] https://twitter.com/leahculver/status/1586145696163373056 https://twitter.com/leahculver/status/1586145696163373056

  Multiple? I only see Leah Culver tweeting obscurely. In the next tweet, she responded to Musk's tweet about "comedy is allowed on twitter" that she "just followed order". Leah Culver is wealthy that she doesn't need a job. She bought the painted lady a few years back for $3m. This could easily be a gag from her. Your source is absolute bonker.

The article says only some engineers received the invite to print code, and Washington Post's sourcing (some engineers at Twitter) is the same as yours. Casey Newton is reliable and says the same: https://www.platformer.news/p/elon-takes-over-twitter https://www.platformer.news/p/elon-takes-over-twitter

  Which engs? Apart from Leah's obscure tweet. The article is paywalled. Journalists were pranked just yesterday about twitter engs being laid off. Is there a better source? Casey talking to some engs is so vague. Where is the details? Screenshots of emails maybe? Why is our standard so low when the narrative fits what we like?

    How about you post your evidence, since you talked to some engineers at twitter. Give me some screencaps. Emails. Slack messages.

      You want me to post an evidence that Elon didn't ask for a print out. Like asking my friend to show all thousands of emails in his inbox and say "see? Elon didn't email me at all"? You said it yourself that only some engineers were asked that. So, by your logic, most weren't even asked anything. Twitter has 5000 engineers. My friends are definitely likely within the thousands of engineers who aren't asked for anything. I don't think I need to dox my friends for this. You or casey should be the one who provides a more reliable evidence, especially when you make a crazily ridiculous accusation that is borderline comical. Casey said he had screenshots but not disclose them. Well, okay. We'll take his words for it? He could have easily redacted names and etc. But nah. Well, he did say "subscribe to read" in his tweet. I'll call it. He will never disclose the screenshots or more detailed evidence. He got retweets and some subscribers out of it. Then, we will have fun with this story, forget, and move on The fact that you even ask me to prove a negative means you don't have a better evidence and that you like this fake news so much that you don't want it to be false. Have some standard lmao.

        I wasn't asking you to 'prove a negative', I was specifically asking you to prove a positive. Which is that you have friends that work at Twitter that say otherwise. Moreover; if you DID have friends that work at Twitter this thing would be very easy to disprove because they could very easily go through the corporate slack or whatever they use, see if people were asked or not and done. Mission accomplished. That doesn't even require doxxing your friends specifically. But you're not going to do this. Just like Casey, you can easily take screenshots, redact names and done. I don't think you actually have friends at Twitter to be honest nor do I think you were ever willing to engage in good faith.
