Probably got burned out from all the hours he was forced to bill in the 4th tier law firm that gave him a chance. Would explain the extraordinary bitterness that seeps out of most of his posts.
I think it comes down to this; Driven people do not sit around b****ing and moaning on messaging boards and social media. People who are not full throttle really do not understand this and find it very easy to criticize people who do. We will see in 5 years. But this thread will be 6 feet under and a complete new narrative will be at the top of the heap. (Much like many of these same people who have crititicized and said Tesla and SpaceX would never be successful 10 years ago)
Yeah, I meant the figurative "you" rather than you literally. Also I'm fine with being wrong with Elon making his hiring targets. I doubt folks lining up will want to hear lectures about paying their dues. They just want exciting work and getting paid filthy for their dues.
Almost everybody that works for Musk works that many hrs or more, from the Engineers to the Janitors. and they're well compensated for their time. If you dont want to do the time you cant work for Musk.
Version 0.2 of the color marks is about to be released. That might get some advertisers back. If not, v0.3, 0.4, 0.5…
This is false. I consider Elon Musk to be driven and motivated yet he also b****es and moans on social media. It might be narcissism that drives the social media addiction.
The irony of anyone posting in this section mocking people who b**** and moan on message boards lol. b****ing and moaning about wokeness and liberals is still b****ing and moaning
Tesla absolutely does not have good comp relative to the workload. SpaceX is closer to (FAANG) market average, but again if considering workload, not worth it from that perspective. https://www.levels.fyi/companies/tesla/salaries/software-engineer https://www.levels.fyi/companies/spacex/salaries/software-engineer https://www.levels.fyi/companies/google/salaries/software-engineer https://www.levels.fyi/companies/facebook/salaries/software-engineer https://www.levels.fyi/companies/amazon/salaries/software-engineer I have no problem with companies that exist where you are expected to be a workaholic in exchange for amazing compensation. Places like Jane Street and Citadel exist and fill that role. https://www.levels.fyi/companies/jane-street/salaries/software-engineer https://www.levels.fyi/companies/citadel/salaries/software-engineer I personally would have made that sacrifice earlier in my career, and I don't fault people for wanting to do that. Tesla, SpaceX, and Apple are places where people go because they are either drawn to the mission / product or drawn to cults of personality figures like Jobs (formerly), and Elon. I also have no problem with companies that exist where you are expected to be a workaholic in exchange for having people work on a vision or product that they think truly changes the world or works on hard problems that excites them. Places like Tesla and SpaceX fill that role. Everyone has different motivations in their career.
Agreed, And those are the people that Musk will eventually fill Twitter with. If you don't want to work in that environment then it's best to start looking for a new job as soon as possible.
Agreed, as many people did, its a little fair for H1B that might have wanted to leave, but unfortunately they knew the risks this could happen at any company and it happens at companies smaller than Twitter every quarter. Main point was just wanted to point out why people work at Tesla and SpaceX, and its not because of pay (relative to industry). One funny sidenote about H1B: I've seen both liberal and conservatives in the industry bash H1B in the past because there was general sentiment that they drive down tech salaries. Now that this Twitter stuff happened both sides are capitalizing on H1B workers; liberals trying to going the "those poor H1B, Elon is so heartless" route and conservatives telling people that "immigrants know the meaning of hard work, glad Elon purged the woke non-H1B" yada yada yada.
I don’t think the architecture profession would exist if people were only in It for compensation relative to work load.
And many of them come back. https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=https://twitter.com/ibeheadniggers why is it you hold X to a different standard?
Apple and Disney are back at X? The only major one back is Netflix and they slashed their buy time by 70% lol. I'm pretty sure on any other website if you created a username similar to the one I posted above you'd be instabanned. I'm not sure what double standards you're talking about
advertising is down across the board. you're moving the goalpost. Advertisers claim they do not want to advertise because they do not want their content next to any types of hate speech. Yet you can google that twitter handle (full url) and google does not censor it, however like X claims, they do not push adverts on that result. So which is it? Advertisers are strong arming censorship or do they not want their context next to hate speech? You are clearly stating advertisers are strong arming censorship which is not what they are claiming. Like all authoritarians (like your viewpoint), the line is always pushed to ones convince and you eventually become the person you complain about. You are an authoritarian.
It’s an interesting argument to say that a private business doesn’t want to spend money where their name might be associated with something offensive as censorship and authoritarianism.
