Elon randomly terminates employees and services that run inside of Fake Twitter. Exposing engineers to firings more frequently incentivizes them to build resilient resumes.

See the documentation for info on how to use Elon.

Elon is an example of a tool that follows the Principles of Chaos Leadership.
