Ask HN: Would You Work for Elon?

I'm talking specifically about publicly tweeting a passive-aggressive rebuttal whose only purpose is to imply "this guy has no idea what he's talking about", not about correcting people in general. Try doing that when your boss says something "stupid" and see how that goes for you.

I have enough leverage in any conversation, that bosses don't have much choice other than to entertain the idea. I use this "leverage" to build further reputation as the person who only talks in the benefit of others.

But Elon has this "my way or highway" blinded racehorse mentality. He overruns people if he doesn't get his way.

So you're saying you can be passive-aggressive all you want and your bosses can't fire you?

Well, good for you. You've reached Dr. House status. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Thank you. Funny you mention Dr. House. I never understood his appeal until now.
