> a lot faster than granting someone access to internal systems

Why? Musk could order access for Tesla engineers in minutes. Large companies have automated on-boarding and access control.

> a firewall of access if you need that legally

There is zero chance Musk would care about this. He breaks laws publicly and exuberantly. He has never shown a respect for red tape.

I just can't imagine paper being useful to understand even a small project with 40-50 files in it. I'm not really buying there being any reason for it except a legal one, and this situation at Twitter wasn't a legal issue.



I wasn't defending their supposed use of paper, just pointing out reasons why you might find yourself doing so.

I've also been at quite large companies that need 3-5 days notice to onboard contractors, background checks, etc. Besides, he wants to fire 70% of them... you think people are rushing to help him fire everyone themselves included?
