Elon has a very specific history around this particular issue that I suspect a random new-hire would not: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/south-africa-racist-white...
A CEO force-merging a change to production would indeed be an "unauthorized action circumventing established processes" by exact words.
I agree it's ridiculous, but it's mostly because the alternative hypotheses make no sense. There's making a change to a prompt without testing or review (e.g. the ChatGPT sycophancy incident), and then there's prompting a LLM with a very specific response that is not relevant to most people.

Of course it would, but I wouldn't expect this post to follow it, especially at a Musk company, was my point.
But anyway, I'm just further speculating that other speculation seems unlikely to me, heh.
