#42> gaslight That's a loaded term, used at the outset to poison the well, so to speak, so one has to question whether the question was asked in good faith and therefore would answering be worth the trouble.
When a person does bad things and then is accurately described as having done those bad things it's not poisoning the well, it's putting up a sign saying "this well was poisoned".

#43I would also never work for Amazon. Their recruiting has contacted me many times over the years. But not in a million year would I work for them.
Same. I value my work/life balance too much these days.

#44I would like to work in order to see closely what kind of ego he has
Re: Poll: Would You Work for Elon?
#45Yes, absolutely. I have two kids under five at the moment, so the long hours in office requirement might not currently work. But I'd consider taking an engineering IC role in future. Elon is a wartime CEO. Tim Cook is probably the best peacetime CEO active. Working for either would be an extremely interesting experience.
I respect your choice and to each their own, but to characterize Elon as a wartime CEO when he’s caused 80% of the crisis is a very generous characterization. His “leadership” thus far has been sporadic, ill thought out, and reckless.
I dunno where you come up with that number. Twitter was in real straits with investors compared with other companies in its class well before Musk was even on its radar. Two activist shareholder coups later and ousting of Dorsey, lackluster profits in good times, plenty of its own culture war scandals despite people piling on FB... can't pin that on Musk.

#46No and it's not close.
I can sort of understand why people put up with it to work for companies like SpaceX, but I find it difficult to understand why anyone would not take the severance that Elon offered every Twitter employee this morning.

#47>=40k usd/year after tax on remote and I'd work
Elon specifically does not allow remote work.
Your comment is equivalent to I’ll work for anyone and irrelevant to the discussion.
Re: Poll: Would You Work for Elon?
#48I'd only work for him if he allowed remote work.

You should call a spade a spade.
Then quit with the disengenuous, cowardly half-speech and just say it, rather than couching it in the form of a pretend question. It's embarrassing and reflects more upon one's lack of character, frankly.

Why not? I've heard about Amazon's horrible conditions for drivers, but haven't heard too much about how it is in their developer department.
