Putting the personality of the owner aside, they have been running an experiment for the last few months on how to operate a tech company, overworking your engineers and treating them like replaceable automata. Do you want them to succeed and set that as an example for others to follow?

Yep. And it's hard to separate the personality of the owner from this—the more successful Musk is, the more that he's seen as the next Steve Jobs, the higher my odds of ending up working for a Musk wannabe. He is not a good leader, and the sooner his leadership style blows up in his face the better for all of us.

Every social network and large tech company has awful people running it? And I'm yet to see anything beyond "an anonymous source" on this apparent overworking.

If you work for a large US tech company, you are replacable automata. How do people not know this? Am I the crazy one here?

[dbeley]

Every CEO of the top tech companies would be fired for the kind of controversy Musk has monthly.

Musk gets away with it because he's the owner but most social media and tech companies aren't led by this awful people.

Don't you know anyone who used to work there? I've worked for a large US tech company, and no, it was not the same.
