Elon Musk loves to speak confidently about shit he knows nothing about. This leads to him being a confident speaker on every topic... I just wish we could figure out a way to shut him up.

Maybe I'm out of the loop - what's he been saying about software?

When he took over twitter there was a bunch of stuff he was spouting about things like Twitter's stack needing a full rewrite and such. Going so far as to fire the engineer that challenged him on it during a live spaces thing if I recall correctly.

Ah yes I remember that. I thought maybe there was something new he was going on about specifically.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He would have to know what he's talking about to be specific.

You would think so... And yet months of instability on a previously rock solid platform says he did not.
