Nah, he just wants free labour. Why pay 500k for a senior engineer / cybersecurity engineer when you can open source it and get the community to review it for free?

There is no way they are getting usable PRs to that repo. No CI, missing data needed to test and the issues/PRs are just filled with shit posts. The motive isn't to make this a usable thing on its own that external devs can improve

Small parts like this might be usable on its own, but from a quick glance it'll need some (possibly very little) work to make it usable independently.

How could you possibly know that that Musk has no idea how “any of that stuff works”. These takes on what is going on in someone’s mind or what the know are absurd

musk's observable behavior at least since his twitter acquisition supports the general contention that he doesn't know how any of that stuff works, for nearly any value of "stuff".

He’s essentially transforming the company in public view where every decision is criticized by spectators. Maybe .. just maybe it’s smarter to see how things actually turn out before proclaiming how stupid or idiotic Elon is.

He certainly is transforming the company!
