Here are my two possible explanations for this:
1) Twitter's system for implementing changes is woefully inadequate, and the person entrusted with making this change is hilariously naive.
2) This was a 200 iq way to get people talking about the topic again.

So, whoever made that change probably thought changing a few values would be sufficient without proper research. I doubt it was documented, since it has never been done before or even expected to be done. And of course, they wanted to impress Elon by getting ‘shit’ done quickly!!
