I’d be more likely to work with Twitter now to be frank. Elon is obviously trying to implement an engineering lead organisation where coding and productivity are valued.

A lot of these companies tend to be manager heavy, I’ve worked in places where it seemed over half the people in meetings were managers or other unproductive people. It frequently felt like these people were stifling the work as they all had their own agendas etc.

Elon is an engineer first and has s big vision. If you’re one of the people left it must feel like the company has taken a new direction.




Given how Musk treats employees, I was wondering where the kind of sycophant ready to sacrifice their life at the altar of an uncaring billionaire actually existed.

Glad to know they exist


Entrepreneur, salesman, celebrity or populariser? Sure. Definitely not an engineer.


I don't see how his ventures could have made the progress they have with a business/finance/sales person calling the shots. Elon is adept at engineering; you can see it whenever he is interviewed and goes down rabbit holes about metallurgy, simulations, manufacturing, etc. The achievements of Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink and others would not have happened without thousands of correct evaluations of and decisions on technical matters, and Elon is the singularity around which all of that orbits.
