This is what's beautiful about musk, the depth of his patheticness. Just when you think he's trying to save face by making it look like he had to step down because of online democracy or whatever, it turns out what he actually is doing is seeking validation.

We will always know that Elon will gently caress up. But we will always underestimate exactly how he'll fumble it.

It’s his coping mechanism for losing the poll - “Everyone voted for me to step down because they knew my Engineering Genius was going to waste as CEO. Now that I’m running Twitters core technical departments everyone will love me again!”

I’m sure he will be totally supportive of the new CEO and work collaboratively with all the other department heads and not tweet out criticisms or announce any more poorly thought out policy changes in his new role. Daily code reviews for everyone!

how does biz 101 official legal names/structure work?

private companies can have chief executive officers. It’s just a title. Most use “President and CEO/COO” or whatever.

The real trick is if you're CEO of private company, give everyone else the CEO title as well. That way when the feds come for you because of you're companies many crimes they won't know who to arrest!

I know a few Tesla and SpaceX ex-employees and yeah, confirmed that while there was some brilliant work going on, it chewed you to ribbons and burned people out, and if Musk was ever going to be around you were directly told to stay away from him as far away as possible and let your manager deal with him.

This is not a guy who was leading any sort of engineering, he was a C suite exec coming around to nod at graphics and hear yes-men repetition from managers.

From way back but whatever, this sort of personnel management is dumb as gently caress, not only do you have constant brain-drain from high turnover, but working people insane hours is counter-productive. My company just learned that lesson when we went from 12-14 hour surge shifts back to the normal 10, basically every hour we gained off labor, we lost an hour to exhausted people loving up and having to do rework to fix it.

SpaceX is eventually going to earn a well deserved reputation for being a toxic shithole to work at, and they're going to stop getting tons of brilliant young engineers willing to work themselves to death for penis on the dollar of what they're worth.

E:^^^ note to self, pay more attention when using swipe-to-text.

Oh before. Got to have you're office house of mirrored up before the first staff job interview. Idly you want anyone your interviewing for you're company to be as confused and bewildered as possible at all times. They tend to ask less questions that way you see.

Also it means you can get away with renting a smaller office, as none of the staff well complain about how small the office is if none of them have even the slightest idea of the offices actual size!

More job interviews need to integrate the lessons taken from Enter the Dragon tbh. Toss me a yellow jumpsuit and a pair of nunchucks and I am down to get my rear end beat in the CEO mirror maze (tm)

Laundry room in the book. I think they skip it in the movie. Andy gets revenge eventually but yeah, it’s brutal. They break his jaw iirc

So Elon's joke not only requires a few leaps in thinking soap > don't drop the soap > prison rape but a reimagining of the source material to make sense.

And it's a prison rape joke.

To be really fair here, I don’t think Elon read Different Seasons. I would put money on that he never reads at all except off the back of vodka labels or w/e.
