When questioned if it was a good idea to use Tesla resources at Twitter, Musk said he"didn't think of this as using Tesla assets."
"There's 120,000 people at the company. This is de minimis," he added, using a Latin term meaning something so minor it should be disregarded. He also said the engineers worked at Twitter"for a few days, and then it was over." Musk — who is the CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX, and is acting as CEO at Twitter — was in court over a Tesla shareholder lawsuit.

Gregory Varallo, the lawyer representing Tornetta, asked Musk:"Did any of these so-called independent directors call you and say it might not be a good idea?"James Murdoch — the businessman and son of News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch, who has sat on Tesla's board since 2017 — testified that the board was aware that Musk had asked Tesla engineers to work at Twitter.

Were these 'hardcore' volunteers?
Great information
