And if you look at the PR's and contributors you can see that even the constructive ones have been ignored, there have been zero outside contributions and you then realize, that the entire point of the repo is a PR stunt by Musk, to deflect from the fact that the juicy bits of the algorithm are still closed source. So yeah after a while these kind of things attract humor.

I gather your point seems to be "this should be expected" but my point is this shouldn't be celebrated or acceptable, no matter what Elon Musk says. There's value in the code being open source and the devs are being penalized for doing their job.

  The way I interpreted it wasn’t “this should be expected” but that this repo isn’t actually maintained or used for legitimate purposes. It simply exists for publicity purposes.

    You don't think it has any value, even educational? Seems there's a lot there. Last commit 2 weeks ago shows the following: > Showing 393 changed files with 9,322 additions and 3,838 deletions. There must be something worthy there don't you think?

      I got about 40% of the way down (to `.../functional_component/filter/ReplyFilter.scala`) and it's mostly variable renames, slight shuffling of old code, and the occasional new file of uncommented Scala creating a new XYZBuilder class for something else they want to track(?). Couldn't see anything even vaguely interesting unless you were looking for examples of Java-style FactoryBuilderFactoryInstanceBuilder madness.

      Counterpoint: If you confuse your companies GitHub Account as it's press release page or engineering focused blog, you likely just passed the duck typing test for your GH account being your companies personal news outlet! Therefore, troll comments should have been expected. Rookie mistake, should've turned off the comment section.
