Musk being a grifter how unexpected... Honestly he does the same thing that he has done all over his career promising people the moon but making them pay for Mars and more he did something similar with his initial employees at Tesla and their options I don’t know how people can keep trusting him is ridiculous.

I’ve heard the same about SpaceX employees being promised Tesla stock for helping them out with some Engineering challenges and then being conned out of them, and the case of (again) SpaceX engineers promised Starlink stock (it’s about to be spun off) and then conned after having pitched in to help on it.

The more I learn about how his employees are treated the more I wonder if these companies would be sustainable over the years.
