Anyone doing anything with Elon Musk should have serious concerns.

Are you sure? Reality check time. If Tesla gave you a job offer that’s in your field and the wage is at least 20k what you are making or over the industry avg. would you put aside your morals and take the offer?

Sometimes you gotta weigh job security and a tolerable work environment into the mix. Working for Musk doesn’t seem low-stress.

Tolerable work environment is at the top of my list. If I were to even consider working at an intolerable business, I would need to be paid enough to retire after a year. We have made it so that work is life, and also now retirement is very uncertain for most young people. There’s no way I’m gonna take an intolerable job that will go on indefinitely.

Absolutely not. I wouldn’t work for the Heritage Foundation for any price either. Maybe money can control you, but it doesn’t control me. I’d rather be poor than hate myself.

$20k isn’t going to make you rich anyway

If Tesla offered me $200k over maybe I’d think about it

AH HA HA HA HA

20K above average? Not a chance in hell. For all the reports of how shitty the work environment is at ALL of his companies, coupled with the constant need to push far past whats ethical, or in some cases even legal… no.

Fuck no.

Not a chance in hell.

Now, throw me 500% of the average and maybe we’ll talk. But You’d only get a year from me. Two tops. Just enough to pay off my bills. Then I’m gonna tell you to fuck off.

Oh, sweet soul. You just revealed to the world that you yourself lack any kind of morals, maybe you should work for Musk.

Hey! Don’t talk to them like that! It might be that they don’t have any self respect or are just a trash human being
