I think "revolutionize transportation" and "revolutionize space flight" are a bigger draw for prospective employees than "put Kanye back on Twitter".

Now that the big brands have come around, I'm not sure Tesla has such a huge draw (?). Like if you are an engineer, you could work on the same problems at Ford, but with fewer CEO antics, your designs will probably be implemented with better build quality, and I bet your employment would be more stable. SpaceX is still pretty impressive though.
