10 managers per coder seems a bit extreme. However, 3 managers, 7 "coders" engaging in social justice and one workhorse coder is entirely realistic.
I doubt though that Musk can figure out the actual workhorse in a short time. The posers are very good at self promotion.
Weeding out those who change pronouns in documentation and agitate on Slack would be a reliable start. From there, close reading of PRs, their usefulness and code quality is required. LOC is not an indicator.

As for managers, most of them are useless.
