Now that Elon has cleaned house, when is Twitter hiring again? It might be a good opportunity to get in on the new ground floor.

Working for Musk sucks, he is an extremely arrogant asshole who will fire you for contradicting him even when he is wrong.

Maybe it’s worth the money for guys who are okay with that, otherwise who would work for him?

Is this based on personal experience, or are you going by some well known publicly available stories about Musk?

I've heard pretty much every possible opinion about the guy, but the ones that impress me the most are that he loves to go deep into technical topics with people who know their stuff, regardless of their credentials. That, to me, is a sign of a man with deep humility and desire to learn.

At the same time, he's not considered a very diplomatic person and evidently is rather hard to get along with both in his personal life and professionally. Yet, his accomplishments are substantial.

So I would go with maverick, different thinker, fk your feelings, kind of guy who not only isn't afraid to break a few eggs to make an omelette, but probably isn't even aware he's breaking the eggs :)

"Is this based on personal experience, "

It is based on the fact that be publicly fired very competent people on Twitter for contradicting or criticizing him.

Why would anyone want to work in a dumpster fire?

I've wondered if the hiring funnel will be so lean that the TC may be forced high

How would stock grants work, cause I doubt he'll IPO twitter? Or would it just be netflix-style cash offers

Who sees the foundation of a high-rise starting to crack and thinks, "perfect time to get in on the ground floor"?

Ground floor is exactly where you don't want to be when the structure collapses under its own weight.

Rather than bring in additional specialists to reinforce it, Musk has partially evacuated the building at least.

It’s Elon, don’t think he going to take a 44 billion hit on this, he is going to make his (and his co-financiers) money back.

I've sent Elon an email asking for internship, though sadly I can't move to Sanfran and live in the office floor for 12 weeks like @geohot can. Still...
