SpaceX employees denounce CEO Musk as 'distraction': letter [CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS]

[CyberGus]

Dear Elon,
Please tweet something about Cybertruck.
Sincerely,
everyone

if you’re trying to encourage people to do their job without ruffling any feathers, don’t use the scene from The Matrix that demonstrates how modern work environments are designed to break your spirit and encourage blind conformity and obedience. Because that inevitably leads to Neos ascending to a meta reality and unraveling the entire system.

(I personally encourage unraveling facade realities, however.)

My 1st pick was actually R Lee Ermey from "Full Metal Jacket" the one where he says "Here you are all equally worthless" but that would probably result in massive triggering and tons of bellyaching. Ya know in boot camp you learn to not bring attention to yourself. I hope he fires every single non hacker that can't go to work and do their job.

Some people may not buy a Tesla because they don’t agree with Musk’s comments, but you can be sure just as many people will buy a Tesla because they DO agree with his comments.

How's that working out for Harley Davidson?

Well.

Elon Musk's SpaceX fires at least five for letter criticizing him

Can't say I'm surprised.

This kind of attitude to criticism stifles innovation, and lets objectively bad choices through the pipeline (like the steering yoke on a car without drive-by-wire or an appropriate steering ratio).

This is going to get the company slapped by the NLRB.

Bad juju.

Engineers that can't speak up are engineers that let bad designs go forward without proper vetting.

Who said they were engineers?

Not everyone at SpaceX is an engineer nor are critical for safety or innovation. Theres heaps of employee overhead that is required to operate the business without affecting reiteration processes for product design.

Exactly my thought as well. Innovative tech companies who are solving problems never solved before don’t want mindless yes-men drones, they want innovative, confident free-thinkers who aren’t afraid to introduce new ideas or criticize bad ones. I thought that’s what kind of companies Musk ran, apparently I was mistaken.

My expectation is just do your job, work hard, be kind, be respectful to everyone that's the unwritten rule....right? I'm just passing through on my pilgrimage here like everyone else. No special conditions needed for anyone period. Whatever personnel viewpoints or opinions they have that differ from my own are irrelevant, we're at work to complete goals in the interest of whatever mission, or service that employer has put before us.

He mispronounces the 'R' in 'Another'.
Always bugs me.
