I heard that too. Is it just a rumour or do we know this is true?
And if it's true at SpaceX, is it also true at Tesla?
- layer8 4y agoRegarding your first question, see here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34042340 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34042340 I see no reason why Tesla would be any different.
