This is Musk we’re talking about here. The guy who requested print-outs of code to review, and doesn’t even know basic commands. Could he have said ‘My pal has a thing for that, use that it’ll be faster’ ?

I still stand by my initial assessment that this is most likely a group that is simply using some disturbingly creative disinformation tactics to implicitly claim affiliation with subjects like Andreessen and Musk and fundamentally “promote” their “product” without even being subtle about its potential criminal and/or disruptive uses.

What product?

He notes in the comments he’s a junior dev btw, which would explain the lack of detail

Because I’m not even sure what the team was doing was “illegal” as much as it was unethical. I’m just a junior dev. I do grunt work. To be really honest, it is hard for me to trust the government because whistle blowers don’t fare well in this country. Elon is the richest man on the planet. My main reason for releasing this information is to make sure the rest of the world knows what is coming for them.
