The situation was similar for ex-employees of Musk companies, who were described as being office politics machines, optimized to promote themselves at the expense of others. However, just because some individuals may have been problematic does not mean that SpaceX’s success is purely circumstantial.

The idea is that Twitter wants to determine if their system works equally well for everyone on their platform or if specific groups are impacted.
