“The new Blue isn’t live yet,” Crawford tweeted. “The sprint to our launch continues, but some folks may see us making updates because we are testing and pushing changes in real-time.”

Crawford herself made news earlier this week, as pictures circulated of her sleeping on the floor near her desk at Twitter headquarters in an effort to grind out the new Blue system by CEO Elon Musk’s rumored Nov. 7 deadline.

Since the program isn’t finalized, all of that – or none of it – may be in the works.Musk himself tweeted out one innovation that the team is working on.
