Key points:
1. Musk has ordered a freeze on changes to Twitter code as of noon Thursday, October 27, per Twitter employees. No code checkins are allowed.
2. On Thursday, October 27, Twitter product leaders showed Tesla software engineers (brought in by Musk) the company code. These Tesla engineers are reviewing the code in preparation for a confidential briefing for Musk early next week.
3. Twitter software engineers are locked out of the code, other than a few exceptions personally approved by Musk.

Most of us old software engineers share profanity as our primary language. I’m a C/C++ bigot.
Unbalanced braces. That would earn more error messages than you have code.
Wash out you mouth with soap!
You do not need to revies every line of code. There will be key variables in the code which control how tweets are censored.
I have written a few million lines of code in my working years.
My expertise was teaching computer controlled manufacturing machines how to machine any part with only inut required was specification of the finished product.
You mean you can’t just sneak in with a floppy disk, download the entire code, change it, and reload it?
Things have changed since 1993.
Musk’s men have been looking at Twitter from the outside since before he even said he wanted to buy it. They exactly where they are going to start and have a good idea of what they are looking for. I’ll give The King of Mars 30 or 60 days, but twitter as we know it is dead.
Thank you, Elon Musk!
My first query would look for “Trump” or “orange”
dont forget about back doors
or little hands or kfc or big mac
Understanding that I have kept up with the legal aspects, why would he buy that POS company. I don’t understand the legalities but Twitter is lying about their bot numbers and hence everything about the company, so why buy it. The only thing that makes sense is that he assumes he can fix it and make money, he can claw back billions in court, or there are things I simply do not understand. Twitter appears to be worth 44 billion only to Elon. I do wish him luck with it only because I want to see Space-X and Starlink succeed.
I have no financial stake in any of this but maybe I should.
Wow, he’s doing everything Trump should have done. Trusting no one, cleaning house, bringing in his own. I hope Trump learns because it cost Trump dearly.
TeslaGator,
wrong thread again?
oopsie on the cut and paste?
Other than his brilliant political and business instincts, Trump is a narcissistic moron when it comes to celebrities and the media.
Change control logs should which sections of code was changed and checked in.
That’s puzzling because like those you mentioned, Musk is completely in line with the Globalist agenda. He’s behind Neuralink, a brain-machine interface. Just because something - or someone, is soft-pedaled in the media doesn’t mean it’s harmless.
Musk has stated his admiration for WeChat. It is clear that this Chinese “super app” is being used as a primary method of controlling the citizens. Right now the Chinese government is utilizing soft control, but in the future they will have the ability - with great ease, to bring the hammer down. People may refuse to acknowledge it, but there it is.
P
Smart move. Guard against sabotage.
They will find what I discovered 4 years ago.
They are using AI from Google to search the internet for users opposed to the liberal agenda.
More important things to do today than debug my joke, lol. ;0)
They will find the automated algorithms that caused false information.
