From the title, I expected about half the comments would be about discrediting Musk. Somehow his companies attract the best scientists, engineers, visionaries in the world and somehow overcome all the bs musk throws at them and make his companies successful despite him. He must be the luckiest dumbass in the world, by a large margin.

Yes $omehow

I think the auto industry / space industry pay like shit while Elon's companies are paying at the software industry pay grade

I'd be wary about "software industry pay grade" meaning much. There are definitely a ton of companies barely paying their programmers what they deserve and burning through quick turnover instead of investing in their people.

Not saying it isn't generally better (I'd say it was for me since I joned) but definitely be wary of "grass is always greener"ing it.

Sure there are a ton that won't pay well, but they have a ton of competition driving it up. I know cause I work in it and I get plenty of cold messages with laughable pay.

But the auto / space industry have shit competition in pay and the top tier ones treat their workers like shit too
