@davidslifka What's not mentioned in the article is exactly what part of Twitter's code was in the GitHub repository.

It could have been some part of the code base that had already been open sourced previously.

Or it could have been a repo for code that employees were actively working on, when they were suddenly and unexpectedly fired.

With the institutional knowledge that Twitter has haemorrhaged, there's no way for them to know.

Elon is assuming that there's malicious intent, because that's what he's assumed since taking over. But that doesn't mean it's the case here.
