Ugh, how long until Elon tweets that all Tesla interiors will be kept at 69 degrees?

He wanted to make a 420 joke, but none of the alpha testers survived the Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, or Rankine temperatures.

There’s a tweet out there somewhere where he makes both a 420 joke and a 69 joke in the same sentence. I can’t seem to find my screenshot of it, though (which means I probably just rolled my eyes and kept scrolling).

Working for any of Musk’s companies must be pure hell. I’m always getting LinkedIn notifications that SpaceX is hiring, and given stories like this one where the world’s wealthiest man is asking everyone to work holiday weekends for the sake of the company, it’s easy to see why they’ve got such high burnout and turnover rates.

I know some folk at SpaceX. Turnover is indeed high. Engineers bounce around between SpaceX, Boeing and Northrop. The saying is that the only way to move up is to move out. Maybe if there was a pension plan instead of 401k folk might stick around.

Someone (Bruce Sterling? William Gibson?) wrote an essay about meeting Silicon Valley execs who all loved to fantasise about surviving the collapse of civilisation that they believed would occur in the near future.

I think he was invited to a conference and they had him backstage. They warned up by asking questions about the future that they imagined they knew the answer to and it quickly went “New Zealand or Alaska?” And how to stop the servants killing them.
Because people like that always assume people are out to kill each other. How to make your employees not kill you? Act like a decent human being. This is of course impossible for that crowd. Hence the islands, weapons, and coercion.
