>There'll be plenty of people willing to work for cheap for Musk
Is this true? I buy that there are plenty of people willing to work on Tesla or SpaceX or even things like hyperloop. But do people have the same passion for Twitter?
- UncleMeat 4y agoMusk seems to have a reality-distortion field like Jobs did. I absolutely know people who heard him talk about "The X App" and would quickly jump ship to work for him. I don't understand it at all, but he does seem to command this sort of following.
- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoThere are definitely some Elon Musk fanboys out there. They're just not on HN. What's kind of annoying is that as a Tesla owner, many people assume I'm an Elon fanboy. Nah, I don't really like him. I applaud his ability to take risks, but I wish he'd shut the hell up sometimes.
- googlryas 4y agoI think most of the fanboys like him for his personality, and don't actually have any relevant technical skills. They commonly think building your own PC(literally, plugging things into the only slot they will fit into) is the pinnacle of tech geekiness.
- vidarh 4y agoEven as someone who finds Musk really unpalatable at this point, if I thought I had a skill that was a good fit at SpaceX I might be tempted, but Twitter? I'd rather contribute to Mastodon or another Fediverse project. Not because I hate Twitter - I spend a lot of time on Twitter - but because I don't see it as an interesting enough or worthwhile challenge before Musk. After his takeover I wouldn't even consider it, so I think you're right to question this. Of course he'll find someone, but whether it'll be the right people is another matter.
