Well it starts with the bad idea probably coming from the top, Musk saying I'm tired of seeing twitter.com links change them all to look like x.com links, that plus his gutting of the company when he took over means there's less people around to be the person to say no you can't do this this way go back and start over (or not at all).

It's probably worse with Musk. His executive style seems to be, from his biography, ignore a thing for a while until he gets in a maniac phase and then over the shoulder manage a thing until it's done, regardless of time or context.

I can just take the scene of Musk being on a roof yelling at the crew to change how they install solar tiles late in the night and translate it to him berating a programmer in the office to make it look like x.com and not caring about the details.
