The Spruce Goose flew!Howard Hughes was enormously successful until he unraveled. I'm actually not worried about Tesla long term, but Twitter is starting to look like Elon's Spruce Goose.
Ya. Strong disagree here. I’m starting to wish I figured out how to be an investor in his twitterHoward Hughes was enormously successful until he unraveled. I'm actually not worried about Tesla long term, but Twitter is starting to look like Elon's Spruce Goose.
You mean how he now sees a path to profitability after this restructuring? Lol. Guy is a master troll. He is bathing in this hysteria for the lulz...and traffic it generates.
Stephen King? Is that you? Maybe there is actually something going on in Maine?Howard Hughes was enormously successful until he unraveled. I'm actually not worried about Tesla long term, but Twitter is starting to look like Elon's Spruce Goose.

What/who is SV?
You're hardly the first one making this comparison: Crazy Aviators: The Eerie Similarities Between Billionaire Howard Hughes And Elon MuskHoward Hughes was enormously successful until he unraveled. I'm actually not worried about Tesla long term, but Twitter is starting to look like Elon's Spruce Goose.
While Musk received most of the credit for Tesla’s early breakthrough with Model S, he benefited from an able team that included veteran auto engineers Peter Rawlinson and Nick Sampson; battery expert Kurt Kelty; George Blankenship, who designed Tesla’s stores; and government affairs pro Diarmuid O’Connell. None of them are still with Tesla. And while Musk gained billions from SpaceX, it’s been ably run (with minimal turnover) by president and chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell. It’s a contrast to Musk’s Model 3 “production hell” in 2018, when he spent many nights sleeping on a sofa in Tesla’s Fremont factory or jetting off to promote subterranean transit tunneling services by his Boring Co.
As much as Tesla and SpaceX’s combined $80 billion market cap is a marvel–and Musk’s newer ventures like Hyperloop and Boring Co. set impressive goals–they have yet to profit on their industry-changing intentions. Much of Musk’s empire is still based on undelivered promises anchored to time-bound investor expectations.
You can't be a low performer and work 80hrs a week. That in itself makes you a high performer. Ever heard of that lazy guy who stays in the office till midnight?Yep, because as we all know, when new management rolls in, insults the existing staff, fires half of everyone, and then demands 80 hour workweeks or you should quit - this causes the most talented, marketable, anyone-would-love-to-have-them employees to stay.
I've been thru a half dozen layoffs. They always go in two waves. First management tries to get rid of weak or under-important staff (and does so poorly because they often don't know who's actually doing the great work). Then in the following week you lose the top-20% most talented people who've had offers from competitors waiting for them all along.
The low performers who got missed by the first axe? They STAY because they know they can't easily find good work elsewhere and they can blame anything they screw up on the guys that got axed.
Yes, very briefly. Once. Let's hope Elon doesn't have to pilot Twitter solo.The Spruce Goose flew!

I’m thinking it’s probably going to be difficult for software engineers to find job in this environment. Elon will have plenty of talent to pick from because of all the recent layoffs at other companies. That’s if he needs to hire people.Yep, because as we all know, when new management rolls in, insults the existing staff, fires half of everyone, and then demands 80 hour workweeks or you should quit - this causes the most talented, marketable, anyone-would-love-to-have-them employees to stay.

Lol it takes a type of special person to want to work in a high stress 80hr/week environment. Not many people are this dedicated, and if you are then you are most likely of quality when you know poor quality gets you fired instantly.Quantity ≠ quality
