Twitter Is Protecting Its Source Code From Disgruntled Employees, Reports Say

Sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that the source code was locked down to prevent unauthorized changes. The reports say that this change was made to prevent employees from going rogue and sabotaging the platform after Musk bought the company. Any changes must be approved by a vice president. After the company announced it would accept Musk's offer to buy the publicly traded platform, it wasn't immediately clear how their day-to-day would change. Employees were left with questions about how they would fare in Musk's takeover after CEO Parag Agrawal reassured the team that no layoffs were planned. For now, Musk's takeover bid is subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. Major personnel shifts, resignations and more may occur if it goes through as expected. A similar shake-up took place when the New York Stock Exchange listed the micro-messaging service. By the time the company went public, there were already 90 startup built by former employees.
