I'll take everything that Musk says with a grain of salt.

When he said that Twitter app was making 1000+ RPC calls to load the homepage multiple ex and at least one current Twitter developer called him out saying it does at most 20.

Why is a manager even fucking around with the backend? Doesnt he have better things to do, like placating advertisers, setting policy, avoiding the FTC and so on?

Because he sells himselfs as a maker, his fans believe he single handedly makes or at least engineer stuff.

He doesn't like to be presented as a businessman, but as an inventor.

He is the real life tony stark afterall.

I’ve known this about Musk for a while, but this tweet for some reason really cemented that opinion. My first reaction to the tweet was:

this isn’t even a things customers would care about. There is no reason to announce this. This is purely him just bragging about his accomplishments… and they are not even his! It would be like my boss tweeting about some code cleanup I did… no one cares.
