Because they don't understand the codebase, so they are literally just throwing code at the wall with no QA and seeing what breaks.

This is even funnier when you see Elon has circled back around to his “complete code rewrite” idea

There is probably nothing I wouldn’t give to see Elon and his skeleton crew actually attempt and implement a “complete code rewrite” for twitter.

I thought that he would have to buy it eventually, but that he could make business at Twitter miserable enough for long enough to negotiate a somewhat smaller premium for the purchase.
