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

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