I've worked for CEOs who were very much like Elon. Back in the 90's, it was exhilarating, and he made you feel like you were an important person working on important things for an important company. To give you an idea of what this company was like, the employee sexual harassment manual came in a huge white three-ring binder. The binder contained a single page, with a single sentence: "Use your common sense." Each employee had to sign the bottom of the page and return it to HR. The CEO's personal stationery had a monogram of a butt on it. Looking back, that feeling of invincibility and righteousness was probably just the CEO exploiting the youthful optimism of employees like me. I wouldn't do it again. It's exhausting, and hollow. I'm a better person today than I was then.
