- ryyr 4y agoi don't care for elon & co.'s broader mission, but for this reason i am hoping the skeleton crew that remains succeeds - i admit that it's naive to expect any positive change to come from it though
- s1artibartfast 4y agoI think this is exactly it. Elon and the possibility of his success threatens the worldview of a lot of people.
- sangnoir 4y agoHe's a terrible person and I empathize with the people who are suffering because of his huge, but fragile ego. I would hate for the Elon-idolizers to adopt his abrasive style, thinking that makes them good or radical leaders. That idea terrifies me, and reminds me of Steve-Jobs-wannabes who didn't realize he succeeded in spite of his manner. You can treat people with respect and still succeed; I have no kind words for anyone who inspires disrespect/looking down on employees (fellow engineers). Regardless of Musks success or failure at Twitter, the concentration of wealth in fewer hands will march on (due to automation and software eating everything, eventually, software will eat software). The middle-class SDE-type have been ignoring this reality for a while now, feeling safe because we thought we could find a different well-paying job at the drop of a pin. The bimodal income in the Software world is about to become more defined, with more folk shifting to the lower-income peak.
