I’m not sure that the high churn rate at the high end is really in Musk’s interest, but it MIGHT be in society’s interest. Instead of sucking up a bunch of highly skilled and driven people indefinitely, the few who are able to work well in that environment stay and are able to get stuff done while the others leave and spread the knowledge elsewhere, perhaps starting up competing efforts that either complement Musk’s efforts or give Musk a run for his money. This is a strong argument against Non-Competes.

It probably is in Musk's interest too. Musk has earned the benefit of the doubt in trusting his decision as to "should Very Smart Person X be employed by Neuralink" or not. There's a lot more to making a company successful than being competent and as much as I find Musk personally distasteful there is nobody with his track record at building transformative private sector companies.

Good example is the person who left Tesla and is now starting a Lithium battery recycling company.
