It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Don't forget the incredible amount of worker abuse. I know people across Elon's companies who have regularly worked 80 hours weeks. Not to mention the safety violations
i worked with a number of former tesla engineers and they had nothing but horror stories about him
Did they share any with you in particular? I fully believe you, either way.
the one that stood out the most was that they were terrified of the company all-hands meetings because Musk would fire people seemingly at random.. one guy said you didn't dare look him in the eye because if he ever noticed you and didn't like how you looked then you'd escorted out of the building and get your shit mailed to you.
another said it was nothing but one-uppmanship throughout the entire company but people grinded through it as long as possible because of the stock options.. or the "golden cuffs" so they said.. and one guy was extremely upset about that because he made it right to the week of his vesting period and got laid off, so he got nothing after all the torture he went through
I heard something similar from someone that said that
style bosses were like seagulls: they'd show up, shit everywhere, make a lot of noise, then fly off again.
A lot of corpos keep a close eye on benefits timers and do exactly that months, weeks, even days before the promise is supposed to pay off.
chiming in here, one guy got absolutely torn apart for a perfectly adequate solution that elon didn't like the looks of. literally, did not enjoy the visual aesthetics of an engineering solution. huge fucking tantrum, entire team + other seniors present, dude quit a while later. many such stories. most people just put up with it, were a few legends who walked out on him. was more unstable when he was younger. gave all his engineers ptsd and daddy issues...
yeah.. also stories about how you never dared say "no" to elong or dare tell him what he was asking for was stupid or impossible.. you might as well just pack up and leave on your own if you so much as thought about it.
So he ended up with nothing but yes-men in all upper mgmt positions who would just fire people to make daddy happy whenever something wasn't going according to his ridiculous plans which was practically all the time
