Musk's takeover and move of twitter servers is absolutely not an example of "10x" engineering. It is sociopathic hero worship.
An untouchable authoritarian oligarch saying "how hard can it be" while taking a blowtorch to societal support structures is going to inflict death and pain on people, the neediest among us.
The Wolf is a much better exemplar of the patterns of a truly effective 10x engineer who makes things better for the business. Were a Wolf to behave like Musk, they would be fired.
