"We really need the engineers to be living on the line. This is not sort of an off-the-shelf 'it just works' type of thing," Musk said. "That will be a challenging production ramp […] we'll be sleeping on the line, practically. Not practically, we will be," he added.

Man, can this guy rally the troops or what? With sentiment like this, who needs a pep rally or company retreat? /s

Worst. Boss. Ever.

I would for a price. I've done a few hard years. The issue is that he's likely not making it voluntary and not compensating people for the sacrifice.

I can actually see this working for some people who have been heavily indoctrinated their entire adult professional careers. For instance, some people who join the military. When you're used to sleeping when you can and missing sleep for watch or what have you, you're already used to being mistreated. As a result it's easier to lure you with supposed perks that make up for the mistreatment. .

I would hope it doesn't work for the majority, but I'm not gonna lie, the number of people working in the service industry suggests that my hope is misplaced.
