    Not trying to defend him, but I thought the reasoning behind doing that was to get the least obedient people to leave the company so that there won’t be a delayed push back from the employees.

      In my experience working for almost 3 decades in software development, passive-agressive shit from upper management just causes the best people to leave (as they’re the one who easilly find better jobs) leaving mainly a mix of the incompetent and those who never worked anywhere else (who are also incompetent, as experience is just one company is too narrow for anything beyond junior/mid level).

        Yeah and I’d say these people left are exactly those Elon wants, he doesn’t want white guys in their 50s, he wants obedient young guys.

          Sound like a variant of the good old saying “pay peanuts, get monkeys” only using a stick and threats instead of payment.

          Mind you, it does sound like the kind of think somebody with his kind of personality - narcissistic shameless and dishonest salesman - would think it’s a great idea.
