“Hey guys, I’m cool because once I completely fucked up everything and now I’m taking credit for the work of someone else!”

To be fair - even though this asshole doesn't deserve fairness - that tweet is very obviously giving full credit to Akash (whoever that is) and not to himself. He's admitting a huge blunder but he's not taking credit for the fix.
