If the code is so brittle, and the ramifications were so massive, surely the problem would have been identified by even the most superficial testing that was done before rolling it out to production?
The only explanation is that this change was ordered into production with little or no testing, and that order had to have come from somewhere near the top.
In the past there were probably many people who could have looked at this proposed change and immediately said “lol this will never work because of x, y, and z” and all those people are probably just gone now.

Then there was the technical question: PayPal used Linux, while X.com was on Microsoft. To merge the services, Musk proposed a “V2” plan where PayPal would be completely rewritten and all development would be paused in the process. For months, the teams worked on the rewrite, but it kept missing deadlines while large sums of money were being lost to fraud. Finally, in the face of these issues, employees at the company organized to oust Musk and bring Thiel back as CEO.
