That seems to fit:
1.) move from Palo alto to east bay
2.) manufacturing company with software engineers
3.) lots of people leaving
4.) CEO changing the world.
However, I'm sure many companies meet that.
- maxxxxx 9y agoWasn't there the story where Musk scolded someone who took off to be at the birth of his child?

- conanbatt 9y agoIt really sounds fake. Even if Elon really believed that to be true, it would be very dumb to say it.
- gwern 9y agoBingo. The company was Rocket Science Games. https://web.archive.org/web/20121113115319/https://engineering.stanford.edu/profile/sblank https://web.archive.org/web/20121113115319/https://engineeri... says Blank was involved, and one of Musk's internships was also there according to the Musk bio and a few sites listing his internships (simultaneous with Pinnacle, apparently).
- pinewurst 9y agoThat really makes me feel old - I used to work for another gaming company at that time that was pals with Rocket Science. It was not exactly a model of how to run a business - and where I worked was hardly GE. :) From dubious acorns doth startup management gurus grow.
- huac 9y agoMusk is also notorious for underpaying his engineers.
