> I work for an unrelated US company and if our boss would ask my team to go hardcore and push a new feature out of the door and he can explain why that's necessary, I'd expect more than half of my team to participate.
Musk made no effort to explain any real reason that "going hardcore" was needed, and certainly didn't suggest any real feature that needed it.
There's a difference between pulling together to work hard and achieve goals with people you trust and whatever Musk has done.
Some asshole telling you you're shit, for months, firing all of your friends and then asking everyone to work themselves to death to help pay off his unneeded loan interest is not going to get really anyone motivated.
The company has been a giant money furnace for the entirety of its existence... I wouldn't expect Must to have to reiterate that to the people working there.
