The changing of the guard is here…
As of right now, Tesla engineers have full control of Twitter.
Musk has asked Tesla engineers to have full control of Twitter’s code, and until trust is established Twitter engineers are locked out.
As a result many data engineers are being seen carrying boxes outside of Twitter’s headquarters.
Take a look:

Bloomberg shared these details:
Elon Musk asked engineers from Tesla Inc., the electric-car maker he runs, to meet with product leaders at Twitter Inc., moving swiftly to make a mark on the company he’s about to take private, according to people familiar with the matter.
Earlier Thursday in Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, product leaders showed Tesla engineers the company’s code, so they could assess and explain to Musk what the company needs, according to one of the people.
Fortune added these details:
Elon Musk is reportedly engaging Tesla software engineers to improve Twitter, diverting shareholder resources to help him with his own personal investment.
Bringing in outside help highlights the raft of problems Musk is inheriting with Thursday’s purchase of a platform he first wanted, then didn’t want, and finally bought for $44 billion after a court left him no other choice.
Musk now needs to drive engagement and traffic by appealing to those who left for more right-wing sites, without scaring away mainstream brands that do not want to be associated with hate speech or incitements to violence such as those that ultimately led to Donald Trump’s 2021 ban from Twitter.
