    Why did you add Elon Musk to the headline? I think we all know who runs Tesla, is it really necessary to mention him every time?

      The inclusion of ‘Elon Musk’s’ in the headline was not done manually; it was automatically generated when the post was created. I have not edited the generated headline. You can verify this by attempting to create a post with the same link.

        That is very strange, I wonder why Fortune feels the need to add that text. Why doesn’t the ‘embed title’ (or whatever it’s called) match the article title?

          Probably SEO reasons to help it pop up if you search his name there by driving more traffic to their site

      He’s at the heart of the company’s problems. It’s good for the public to associate his name with failure, given the false image he’s created for himself.

    One of Tesla’s strengths was being attractive as an employer and having a choice of top talent. Who’s going to want to work for them now?

      It was the same for I guess Google, 15 years ago I’d have apply for a job there, now? no. Right now I’d not apply to everything Musk, Meta, Google, MS, IBM, HP, etc. It does not work. small company, max 100 people, are better.

        Smaller companies offer much less safety, though.

        If a project is late at Google, you can pull in resources from other projects, delay the release, etc.

        If a project is late at a small company, that could mean bankruptcy, even if everyone pulls 80h workweeks.

        I personally would prefer a company that is just small enough not to require much corporate bullshit, while still having enough buffer to survive rough patches.

        My current project is together with Cap Gemini and holy shit are those guys corporate drones. Absolutely horrible.
