Plus he could just search for that code in the repo to get the overall context, he probably has access :)

Musk is the guy who couldn't figure out how to run a python script not so long ago so it's doubtful.

Also it's really not something a CEO in a company of such size should be doing...

Running a python script is hard if you're a dev but not a python dev. I got into all varieties of dependency hell on macOS last time I tried to stand up a simple python project I git cloned.

Using git might be hard as well if you hadn't done any actual development in the last 15-20 years. Understanding Twitter's codebase without having worked with it all would be a magnitude or two harder.
