If that's true, those engineers would leave for better jobs.
If you think like an economist, the fact that his engineering departments remain fully staffed shows they're paid enough.
I'll take that as fact over angry internet rumors about a controversial billionaire.

I said nothing about Tesla not being able to keep a staff due to low pay – just that I do not see any indication they are paid "well" compared to what other companies pay. If I worked at Twitter, I would be worried my salary would be frozen and pay/promotion scales re-adjusted.

There are many reasons people don't switch jobs, economists are well aware of this. Being at a company lead by such a big personality adds even more reasons.
