"I’ve never worked for musk or his managers — but I’d assume that if folks are high output he would not care how often they were in the office"

I have and believe me it's kind of random and dependent on the mood.

The problem is that even if you are a 100x engineer the guy in the bad mood today may not know or care who you are.

I can't understand why anyone would willingly take a job at one of his companies (but especially Xitter) at this point just knowing what's publicly known... but it's also not difficult to find someone who has worked for him and can tell you what that experience was like.

Generally agree but one cohort are folks on H1B visas that have their residency tied to their employment status with a particular company. It's transferable to a different company but requires getting an offer to another company large enough to do H1B sponsorships.

I wouldn't be surprised if the % of people working on X on an H1B rose since Elon took over.

For highly competitive people, it's the perfect place to be. There's comradery in the suck, long hours and seemigly crazy demands of Elon. At the end of the day you are sourrounded by people obsessed with the mission and working extremely long hours on cool shit.

After two internships at Tesla i understood why people joined cults.

Any US company could randomly fire you for no reason and many US companies do.
