Tesla is stuck with him and that will be the end. I do wonder why anyone with talent would work for Tesla at this point. Such a polarizing thing to have on your cv.
Whatever you think of the cars, the work culture, or of Elon, Tesla is the most prestigious EV brand in the world right now. They are the "reference" for the industry.
Tesla on your resume (versus, say, GM) is far more likely to get you an interview at another company than get you auto-rejected.
How’s that prejudice? If you went and worked for Tesla after 2020 when all of their flaws were out in the open, then you opted into that environment. Are you saying you don’t make hiring decisions based on resume and where people worked? Hiring is always a subjective process. “Cultural fit” is a thing.
Maybe if you're applying to work for Cathie Wood. I'd consider Tesla a yellow flag if you started there the last few years.
I don't think it's really considered that strong of a place for engineers and they don't pay as well and work people harder so I assume these people couldn't get in to better companies. not so much for SpaceX where there's less choice in that sector.
"I assume these people couldn't get in to better companies". That's a pretty ignorant statement as Space X and Tesla are harder to get into than Harvard.
Well yeah, if you have an axe to grind and don't like Musk, then for you it's a red flag, but not for most people. Most people don't hate him enough to discriminate against a candidate for working there.
There are no more desirable companies than Space X because literally no other company is doing anything remotely like what they are. You have Boeing which is a disaster and Nasa which also isn't close.
As of 2022 Space X and Tesla were the #1 and #2 most desired companies to work for.

Plus ... imagine the stories!
