There's no way someone as successful as Elon Musk falls for the "Resume Commits" of people who were smart enough to make sure something (docs, comments, stupid code refactors) gets updated a lot.
He knows who is who and the first wave can be hidden behind people "not doing anything"
I'm sure he can look at commit quality...plus typically there's other metrics like tickets worked or whatever else.
Edit: Lots of people (such as geeks will do) piling on about the particulars, rather than the glorious fact that Elon is going fire lots of deadweight douchebags (and probably save quite a bit on H1Bs while he's at it).
If they have found a chunk that identifies certain demographics and applies certain actions (eg "Conservative or Ivermectin" then apply a lifetime ban)then "Quality" is irrelevant.
Some of the best programmers/engineers I have ever known would think about what they were doing for weeks and then write/submit it over a day or two. Number of commits appears arbirtary to me. But that was games and not global propaganda machines.
Obviously just bullshit from the retards being fired. It's not like they're going to come out and say "I was justly fired for being biased and a lying piece of shit".
calling a little BS on all this.

if you make a metric, it will be gamed. I imagine he wants to first fire the rot, then fire all those that are just there to milk and game the system.
The quantity of commits is probably going to look like a bell curve where both long tails are probably worth firing
then go fishing for quality
