Several Twitter users complained last night after the microblogging platform experienced a bug.

Elon Musk replied that a small API change had massive ramifications.

The code stack is extremely brittle for no good reason and will need a complete rewrite, Musk added.

Ripple CTO David Schwartz joked that a man takes over a large and expensive company from a struggling CEO thinking that he can run it better.

[{"selector":"#anim-385aa248-c520-4cad-b097-dfeb2c345c83","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-89.01869%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5e79a35f-1044-4ff1-9f27-3474f44aeeb2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-49d78b24-b4fb-4789-8168-5c05b7b72005","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The new CEO gets advice from the outgoing CEO that if he ever runs in trouble, there are two envelopes in the desk drawer, numbered 1 and 2.

[{"selector":"#anim-12df38c3-ec93-4d84-911f-a6755eb25565","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-89.78261%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-05b80068-7838-45b8-ab4d-2cc7186313fc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d5665b85-5b91-49cf-bde1-60c2a4e1e08e","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

When the new CEO eventually runs into a problem, he opens the first envelope and it reads “Blame Me”

When the new CEO runs into a problem a second time, he opens the second envelope and it reads “Make two envelopes.”
