I think the point is, that with this job, Musk want's people whose dream and life goal is the success of what the company is trying to do, and not to have a family or any such commonly accepted life goal.
I believe improving space travel is one of a handful of dreams/goals that there are potentially enough talented people out there, that one could find the people who want this to be their life as opposed to that of a more traditional role.
I know this may illicit the typical 'burn out is real' responses, and I know it is but I honestly don't think it occurs if you are a person with a singular passion and you are lucky enough to be pursuing it for your 'work'.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoI too believe it's Musk's idea. He stated many times that Tesla/SpaceX is not a regular company, but sort of "special forces" where you're supposed to give all you've got because you believe in the mission. But then again, with rising popularity of those companies, it seems that many people join them in order to build up their resumes, and then get surprised by the amount of dedication required.
