Doesn't matter, somebody else will.

I know Musk is widely disliked, but there will never be a shortage of talented engineers wanting to work with him, on interesting challenges, for very high compensation.

But how many talented engineers want to work with him, on interesting challenges, for very low compensation. Because historically with his other companies that's what he offers.

Yet people take those jobs at the other companies. Whatever he wants in his employees, recruiters will offer the lowest it takes to hire them, just like anywhere else.

Yes people will still take those jobs for less, but less talented people.

Space X and Tesla are more inherently interested regardless of the person in charge. Twitter is not. That modus operandi will not work for this.
