Carmack really should have quit Oculus when Facebook bought it and gone on to work for Musk at SpaceX. Both are workaholics, too, so they'd probably get along quite well. Plus, Carmack is a big fan of space rockets.
Perhaps Musk needs to go to him and tell him, Steve Jobs-style:
"Do you want to work for a company that invades people's privacy for the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?"
Carmack's skills are being wasted at Facebook.

- __s 9y agoLast history bit claims > As of August 2013, Carmack was "actively looking for outside investors to restart work on the company’s rockets" Before stating assets were sold, likely due to lack of investment. SpaceX has the investment. Carmack & Musk also exchange tweets re rocketry at times
- whatever_dude 9y agoMusk has already offered Carmack a job a couple of times on twitter. Not verbatim but it was close to that line.

- NamTaf 9y agoThere's no way they purchased Oculus without buying Carmack for a set period of retention. That's a major part of the attraction for FB.
