Ooooh I see where this is going ... delay delay *delay* ... and run for president.

He can't. Probably still has his South African and Canadian passports.

I wonder why the Engineering society doesn't go after him for calling himself an engineer when he is not.

He was naturalized, he'd never qualify.

Latest from Musky. Sign up to slave day and night for him, or get out of the company:




I'd take the severance, but then again, could you actually Trust Musk to pay it?
When I interviewed at SpaceX, it was a 10 am interview. Figured an hour or so then lunch. Nope it lasted until 8:30 pm, no lunch, no dinner. Told me everything I needed to know. Plus the group I was offered the job in (launch group) had been on travel for like 17 weeks out of the last 20, and were about to go again for another 5 weeks. On travel they worked 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, no OT, no other perks. Of course, no one in that group had been there longer than a year.

I don't care how cool the product is, I'm not going to work myself to death to make someone else rich.

Yeah, it was cool seeing the place, especially back in 2009.

I recently looked up everyone I interviewed with and all the people on my offer letter, only a couple of them were still there 2 years after my interview and they were all gone by 2014. And it wasn't like the pay was good either.

No he is not, he has like 10 kids.



JOKING, was just posting bout mtg, still in character…


edit : Also, it becomes quite clear that Elons idea of free speech and thus with twitter is to just flood the zone with shit...shit shit and more shit.
At a time where credible information is at its highest intrinsic value, he just takes a dump on it.

And all right before a huge, sustained, high traffic event (world cup) kicks off. Yeah, I'm sure it'll stay stable. /s

I will create a terrible work environment. Punishments will be severe and random. Your waking hours will be filled with dread and terror. The very air you breathe will be a poisonous fume of my capricious ambition and stupidity. Please sign this acceptance of new work conditions or leave with 3 months pay.

Hey wait where's everybody going.
