He's mentioned several times that him expecting his employees to work 10-12 hours a day is ok because he himself works 18+ hours. How does he expect to retain employees when other companies pay way more than Tesla does for way fewer work hours? Am I missing something?

Does he really work 18+ hour days, practically speaking? It’s not Musk Co, Tesla, space ex and twitter are three different companies. I may not care how he spends his time, but time spent not working for the company I work for might as well be spent basketweaving. I work 18 hour days too, I have my wife job, my kids job, my watching tv job and my tech job.

Exactly, you don’t get credit for putting in long hours when you’re doing it because you’re moonlighting at several jobs.

It is just so hard to believe that the man is working 18 hour days given how much time he spends pulling stupid fucking stunts.

I am completely certain he considers "posting on twitter" etc to be "work", even before he started the Twitter acquisition game.

Cults?

At least for Telsa and SpaceX, his propaganda (PR) efforts have established some grand "for the good of humanity" narratives," for the companies, and passionate true-believers are easily exploited.

All those companies have hiring freezes and layoffs going on at the moment

And Twitter doesn't?

Twitter does, but the point is: there is no where to go. They are stuck.
