Liking the environment at Microsoft is very different than liking what the company does. I know far more people excited about space x than whatever Microsoft is doing and none uses any Microsoft products whereas tons of them opted into buying a Tesla! Working at Microsoft is considered easy work whereas it's the opposite for Elon's companies. Doesn't make him a bad person.

> Doesn't make him a bad person. My god. The little apartheid clyde isn't a bad person. Love it. Hows your model 3? Musk gives us "hard" work. We should love being abused because we get to work on rockets! Company towns for everyone! Giga, TX!

  I don't understand why you're angry? It's hard to say someone working at Elon's companies are abused; they're talented and could easily quit and get a new job. And Giga is closer to Austin's downtown than Apple's campus in north Austin. Hope you're well!

      We were talking about the white-collar workers as op brought up Microsoft workers to which I'm of the general opinion most swes/pms/others can quickly find a job especially with Tesla and Space X on their resume. But yes modern corporations can be abusive, but whatever abuses you'll find at Elon's companies will likely also exist at Microsoft, doubt his companies are all that unique in that regard.
