Enough Musk Spam

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

That's fairly low for software engineers in California. Companies like Google and Facebook pay 2-4x plus (I'd imagine Twitter does too, and that's just a straight average for all employees including cleaning staff etc). Glassdoor says software engineer salaries range from 200-280k a year.

Toxic environments and uncertainty take their toll. I wouldn't want to have a boss as impulsive as Elron, and at this point I'd feel like Twitter wouldn't look great on a resume. The tech jobs market isn't easy lately, though, after the pandemic/zero interest loan period ended and mass layoffs came into fashion (partly due to Elron's example).

It's a global company, certainly the average is higher in, say, San Fransisco: https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Twitter-San-Francisco-Salaries-EI_IE100569.0,7_IL.8,21_IM759.htm

Toxic environments and uncertainty take their toll.

This is true. If it indeed is/has become toxic, the amount of money needed to compensate for that is much more than double.
