I recall something about a degree not being a requirement to be hired by Tesla, but I’m assuming anytime this sort of headline makes the news (supposedly the federal government did something similar recently) they almost exclusively mean “for software developers”. I would be incredibly shocked if Musk was hiring self taught, say... material engineers or any other “traditional” engineer.
I’m not really a fan of credentialism, especially when it can be expensive and painful as hell to obtain them, but I don’t put much stock into most “anti education” type stuff.
