I don’t know if it’s true, but apparently Elon did a LOC count. Implying he counted lines of code contributed by employees over the last year, and ...

In any case: sounds like more of a roughshod approach to figuring out who to keep and who to fire.
Well, if there's no code to review, the answer gives itself, assuming your job is to create code - But yes, I would assume the LOC is only intended as a "baseline figure", for then to analyse those with low count ...
