All personal accounts I've heard of from people that work there are yes, he does know about engineering and is incredibly smart.
But that doesn't mean you know how to run a social media company, and trying to pivot Twitter's work culture on a dime is going to be chaotic.
FWIW I think he's a toxic asshole, but that doesn't mean he's an idiot.
- wittycardio 4y agoHe might not be an idiot but that doesn't mean he knows how software works either
- dont__panic 4y agoSmart and idiot might not be mutually exclusive. I've known a lot of smart people who can act idiotic in certain circumstances. Elon could be very smart when it comes to engineering... but idiotic when it comes to running Twitter.
- rich_sasha 4y agoOK, so how do I square that up with a request to document programming prowess with screenshots?
- fragmede 4y agoThat he doesn't have any other way to look at any code because he doesn't have a Phabricator account
- foldr 4y agoHe's unable to receive ASCII text strings over email?
- HDThoreaun 4y agoHe's not actually trying to document programming prowess with screenshots. They've already fired everyone they want to fire, this is some sort of "welcome to twitter 2.0" ritual
- user_named 4y agoHe lied about having a physics degree and he can't code. He knows nothing about engineering.
