Fake for any of those wondering.
But keeping employees based on how many lines of code they have written, which he did, is essentially the same logic.

Ernest Hemingway was paid by the word, which shows in his work. I imagine this pay structure would have a similar effect on how people code.

I would do so poorly there, in many ways …. I love those days when my lines of code is negative

Employee that was mining crypto on the side is hella stoked at this news.
Meanwhile his mate sitting across from him was gpu mining
Probably mining dogecoin or something else Musk would like.
So, the bonus goes to the guy who was playing Factorio when he should have been working?
Isn't Factorio very optimized, not in the sense that it uses all system resources completely, but in the sense that it has very efficient code enabling millions of operations and increasing without needing much more system resources to scale it?
I would definitely go with Arma in this case. Although it has very heavy calculations for a lot of things to start with, it can't scale well and cause CPU bottleneck very soon.
Factorio definitely taxes CPU usage heavily if you're building a mega base. Don't get me wrong, it's gotta be a big ass base, but you could just import somebody's monstrosity and run it in the background.

It is pretty well optimized. I think it might not be, like, genius-level amazing, but the devs care about performance and worked to improve it.
In the end though, it's a game where the entire map (as generated so far) is simulated - I think there's cases where chunks go to sleep, but it's not Minecraft's "stop simulating anything not next to a player". When combined with players building lots of machines moving many, many items around, you'll inevitably end up with some serious CPU usage. Not a problem on a decent computer, but I have had friends struggle on weak laptops, even getting dropped as they literally couldn't keep up with the server.

I’m glad to hear this is fake but it seemed 100% believable to me
The part where it said "Christmas Bonus" should have been the tip off...
That's because you assume it means financial reward but the real reward is the privilege to serve the company, what a bonus!

That's the joke.
Elon is so random and unpredictable that you can make up just about anything about him and nobody will really know if it's satire or not....
I assume this is fake since no one at X is getting a Christmas bonus.

I so hope this is fake, because this is so stupid, even by Space Karen standards.
Wasn't he firing people based on number of, or lack of, code commits at one point? Even if this isn't real, it's still very on-brand.
Lines of code too iirc. This is about equally accurate.
My most productive days have ended with negative LOC. It's such a trash metric that only someone that's never been a developer could dream up.

So those who misuse company assets to enrich themselves b mining crypto get rewarded by larger bonuses? Sounds like the way the world works for those super rich fellas like Elon "Edgelord" Musk.
Is this real?
I can't even tell anymore
His entire life is a shitpost incarnate, and not a very good one
I have no idea but I had the same question. I also love the fact that We'd believe that he'd do something like this.
Please tell me it's real.
Monero, here we come!
Oh god he'd actually do this and employees would have to try to get the weakest CPU possible so percentage utilisation would be higher.
just run a stress cpu program 24/7
Suddenly everyone at Twitter starts mining crypto.

Allright, everyone install Prime95 for best bonus.
I'd have the biggest bonus at my company.
Old school RuneScape 😎
Time to play modded minecraft during company time
Sweet all that time playing TF2 will finally pay off!
Prime95 for maximum bonus!
Mining away~
while true; do npm ci; done
So the Janitor gets nothing and the guy slacking off playing Deathloop gets a fortune.
gentoo users stay winning
Just turn on a cryptocurrency cpu miner.
He should base it off RAM too. I mean, when you work, you must have millions of tabs open.
