Perhaps he doesn’t know about the technical side. Remember he was fired from PayPal for insisting on using Windows for the servers.

Maybe this is what he means by a “total rewrite”.

[maxlamb]

Right, but the whole reason he gave to do a whole rewrite was that Twitter’s tech stack was horrible… but then couldn’t even answer what is that tech stack and what makes it so horrible

[wellthatsawrap6]

Yeah, you guys are sooooo much smarter than Elon. Carryon.

[bagels]

Smarter? Maybe, maybe not. Able to articulate a basic reason to rewrite or not? Most of us here probably are, yet Musk chose the least compelling route, ad hominem attacks.

[rurp]

I don't think it takes a genius software engineer to be able to give a high level description of the stack they are in charge of.

I mean, yes, I would assume a lot of people here are smarter than Elon Musk, and certainly far more familiar with software engineering.
