Elon musk also expects his employees to work hard, the recent story about how spacex and tesla almost went bankrupt had paragraphs about employees totally giving up any semblance of work life balance: >Hollman exemplified the kind of recruit Musk wanted: ... At 23, Hollman was young, single, and willing to give up any semblance of having a life in favor of working at SpaceX nonstop, >SpaceX engineers would work for 10 days straight in Texas, come back to California for a weekend, and then head back. When searching for that article to quote I found this one as well: >If an employee tells Musk a deadline or cost requirement is isn't possible, he will often kick them off their job on the spot. "Elon will say, 'Fine. You're off the project, and I am now the CEO of the project. I will do your job and be CEO of two companies at the same time. I will deliver it,'" former senior SpaceX engineer Kevin Brogan told Vance. "What's crazy is that Elon actually does it. Every time he's fired someone and taken their job, he's delivered on whatever the project was." my only point is that HN loves musk and his work ethos but apparently the same expectations from apple/blackberry don't get the same treatment.
