IS THIS TRUE? I heard the guy was just out of college (hardly a few months and just graduated on F1 visa). It was very sad to hear and can’t believe how traumatized that boy is. From what I heard, Elon came to him and started asking random Machine Learning questions. He couldn’t answer (expected) because he is a firmware engineer and he was asked to leave immediately. He did leave that day and went home. He then called his manager and narrated the incident. His manager mentioned to him that he was hired for Firmware Engineering position and it is not expected of him to know ML and he told him to not feel bad about it. His manager said to come back to work and ignore this. It is just Elon’s gimmick. So, he joined back the next day and started working. Then, a few weeks later, Elon was again there just walking when he saw this guy, and this time he charged at the boy and called for security leaving him very humiliated and traumatized. This is what I heard from a very close source (who graduated with same guy, and their college group knows it well) and wanted to verify if this is true. It is very sad to go through something like this. I wish he finds another opportunity very soon. I have heard of Elon being a temperamental guy but this is sheer disrespect. @Tesla #Tesla folks please comment.
Damn wth
Tom ain’t no saint
Am not going to contest that in any manner lol. Not at c3 anymore
Big if true
!!
I see you also follow musk’s twitter
This was true with Jobs. So ppl were scarec to be in the elevator with him.
Probably along didn't want to be in there with him because he famously smelled awful. (This is true, look it up.)
Jobs biography is a great read for this too lol. These guys create great companies and products, but they're weird and toxic as hell. Hoping to get to the Musk one by the same author soon.
I would not take this story seriously until there's proof. It could happen, but equally properable to be fake news
When it comes to elon, it would be hard to believe that bad things did not happen.
Based on the amount of people who hate him, don't you think exaggerated and fake stories are bound to propagate, though?
Elon has severe mental illness.
He is for sure on the spectrum. Mark Zuckerberg is too. Elon has some other disorders too though, maybe it’s from mixing autism with hard drugs.
Autism is not a mental illness. And it doesn’t make you a jerk either. He is a megalomaniac sociopath - different story
nice fanfic.
Stories like this, true or not, just make me appreciate Coz even more.
I saw somewhere Elon interviewed a guy and asked him questions about farming rather than his job description
Heard a similar story before. Can be true. Same as Jobs. In very early days people are fired for not greeting him. I wouldn’t take this personal. US employment is at will. Also very early days in Amazon. People are literally fired for not printing in double-sided.
“Also very early days in Amazon. People are literally fired for not printing in double-sided.” Lol 😂 classic amazon. Too bad Jeff Bezos isnt Jewish. He would totally fit the stereotype.
Hey, they violated the frugality LP 🤷🏻♂️
It’s Elon’s loss since they have to hire another person and train them again
Sadly he can afford that.
He can, but maybe Tesla can’t. It’s been producing a lot of faulty cars
Wtf
