At this point in my life as a family man who just wants a predictable 40-hour per week job and isn't looking for any workplace excitement, I certainly wouldn't want to work directly for him, as something like a VP. But since I've never worked in a Big Tech company, I'll ask, do lower-level employees at places like Tesla or SpaceX (setting Twitter aside for the moment) really feel much of the impact of his shenanigans? As someone who works in the DoD, even as a mid-career officer, there are a lot of bureaucratic layers in between me and, say, the President or Secretary of Defense which buffer my day-to-day experience from their whims. Is it not similar in a big company?
