Twitter is a mature tech platform that routinely onboards people at all levels of technical experience into every part of itself. There's no way they don't have probably several entire programs for getting people up to speed on how it all works. Possibly even a few full time dedicated people working only on that, actually. At least before he fired them anyway.

This is nothing but ego and hubris still.

Its wild how many people believe this dumb "pull up of your sleeves" photo op bullshit. Musk doesn't even have a B.S., dude couldn't understand how to build a barn door much more something like Twitter.
Ignorant bandwagoning. He wrote and sold basic games at 12, built x.com, learned about rocketry to found SpaceX, made Tesla into what it is. He has a good grasp on engineering. You can see that in interviews with Karpathy, or Everyday Astronaut’s content.
Ok that's just shitty though. Musk is an incompetent fool but the lack of a degree isn't why, or even a strong indicator of that. I don't have a degree at all and have accomplished a lot of highly technical work I'm proud of in my career. Don't be shitty about it.
