LGTM, perhaps consider removing other references to ElonFeature :)

Personally I think we should just clear the entire codebase and just rm -rf /* the site. Simple, effective, and removes all problems.

Someone give me merge rights and we're go!

Can someone explain how is this used in the algorithm? Looks like it sets up a predicate for Elon that's only later referenced in metrics:

the-algorithm/home-mixer/server/src/main/scala/com/twitter/home_mixer/functional_component/feature_hydrator/RequestQueryFeatureHydrator.scala

Lines 86 to 95 in 7f90d0c

	/**
	* These author ID lists are used purely for metrics collection. We track how often we are
	* serving Tweets from these authors and how often their tweets are being impressed by users.
	* This helps us validate in our A/B experimentation platform that we do not ship changes
	* that negatively impacts one group over others.
	*/
	.add(DDGStatsDemocratsFeature, ddgStatsAuthors.longSeq(Democrats).toSet)
	.add(DDGStatsRepublicansFeature, ddgStatsAuthors.longSeq(Republicans).toSet)
	.add(DDGStatsVitsFeature, ddgStatsAuthors.longSeq(Vits).toSet)
	.add(DDGStatsElonFeature, ddgStatsAuthors.longValue(Elon))
