To me this question would only be asked from someone who is part of the Silicon Vally/FAANG/woke bubbles. There are many engineers who are not part of the those bubbles who would be interested in working for him. I know a half dozen personally, and I would too. You state that he is gaslighting as if it is a fact. I'm no Elon Stan. What I see is someone walking into an incredibly disorganized organization and creating the necessary chaos needed to shake out the entrenched grifters and groupthink. He may very well fail, but it's a breath of fresh air to see someone shaking up the status quo in a very public manner.

Elon's worldview of how an organization should be structured and run is vastly different than what I can glean about twitters culture. Could either of these types of cultures succeed? Probably. There isn't a definitive "one way" to succeed as an organization. I think it remains to be seen if his other companies can be successful in the long term. Some may claim Tesla is but they haven't had to go through a car re-design yet [0] or face any serious competition. Once they navigate those for a few years it will be easier to understand if they are successful long term. [0] tangent: all major car companies have to re-design their products every few years because in the US cars are status/part of identity and people get tired of seeing old designs and want new shiny things. Its irrational but it happens. There are compelling new designs of EV from other manufacturers, how Tesla responds once people are tired of the singular Tesla design and have other EV choices will be interesting.

Why do you say it's a disorganized organization? Just because Elon says that? The technical side on Twitter was working well enough. An unambitious organization is not the same as a chaotic one. You literally have no evidence anything was actually wrong at Twitter.
