I guess different people want different things, but I would have flown across the country to be in that room at 1am.

A startup sized team working on a platform with twitters scale for a boss with capital and a willingness to consider new ideas? Once in a lifetime opportunity.

Willingness to consider his new ideas. Not your new ideas. He's the idea man, your job is to implement it. And if you tell him why the idea may not work as intended, you're fired.

[scarab92]

This is silly. Companies like Tesla and SpaceX don't succeed without a willingness to consider new ideas. They clearly aren't the result of one man's ideas alone.

Tesla and SpaceX had very hard problems to solve.

What new hard problem is Twitter solving, at this stage of its life?

[dannyw]

Tesla has implemented numerous ideas from their customers' tweets.

Well, come to think of it, if you want your ideas to be implemented in Twitter, tweeting publicly at Elon Musk (and staying the hell away from Twitter HQ) seems like the way to go. Plus, no danger of being fired.

It’s startup cosplay, made for public consumption and Elon ego boosting.

[mlindner]

I completely agree. This is the kind of luck that money can't buy that you can use to catapult yourself to new areas of a career.

Catapult seems like a very apt choice of word.
