The article was observed, not the events. I know PR people who plant such articles for profit, all the details are vague enough to seem possible. Even the supposed pictures of eng folk with printed code could be in on the gag. CNBC got trolled by a guy faking being an ex Twitter staffer. Someone from Twitter posted “the algorithm” repo as a troll on Musk.

Why not troll the public and traditional media who are far more obsessed with office life than doing real things for others?

Why bother taking the article seriously? It’s unverifiable. I see no reason to give it a sincere discussion.
