I am pretty confident that most developers would take significantly longer to gather and organize all of their code, make sure that everything is in the correct order for presentation, and print it out on paper.
It would probably take me several minutes (if not longer) just to figure out how to display all of my recent changes across several repos, let alone print it without long lines of code getting cut off at the margin.
There are several other considerations you’d need to think of as well. Am I just printing diffs? If so, how much context do I need? If not, do I print out whole source files, and do I need to tag the parts that were part of my commit? Should I print 100-page generated files that I technically checked in to source control?
I would be very interested in a workflow where all of this can be accomplished by a typical engineer in a minute.

These should be answered by the order from Musk.
I assume the news just reported on the high level details and skip the low level details.
The other theory is that this is straight up fake news. That is why there is no more details. I actually think it is fake news.
Now let's pretend it is real. Whatever the answers to these questions are. They don't sound difficult to do by any mean.
If they want the diff, we print pull requests.
If they want the whole file, we jump to the files we touch and print the files.
If they want 100 pages, we go through each file and print until we hit 100 pages.
If they don't want generated files, then we avoid them.
What is going on here? It is not that hard by any mean. I'm not sure why you act like you can't do this thing easily.
I'm not quite sure what your argument is.
I suppose if you click slowly, it may take you 5 minutes? Okay? Is that exponentially harder or what? Would you get insanely frustrated because the task requires 5 minutes of your time?
