We want to personify things. It helps us to understand — or think we understand — something when we can put a human face on it. In the case of large and complex institutions, we
for years for being a core leader at the company who made good things happen. He was also the person who basically saved Model 3 production more than anyone else when Tesla was struggling to get out of production hell before running out of money and crashing as a company. He was also the person who came up with the idea for a Tesla Semi, and who led that project for years until it stagnated due to lack of enough batteries and he moved on from Tesla.
Many people who don’t like Elon or who see his many wrong assumptions and statements on other topics pull that into a hatred for Tesla and critiques of Tesla that just aren’t even close to true. Such people may get over that barrier if they read and believe the following statements from someone who claims to have been a former intern at SpaceX. You can read the full blog“Back when I was at SpaceX, Elon was basically a child king.
“Managing Elon was a huge part of the company culture. Even I, as a lowly intern, would hear people talking about it openly in meetings. People knew how to present ideas in a way that would resonate with him, they knew how to creatively reinterpret his many insane demands, and they even knew how to “stage manage” parts of the physical office space so that it would appeal to Elon.
“The funniest example of “stage management” I can remember is this dude on the IT security team. He had a script running in a terminal on one of his monitors that would output random garbage, Matrix-style, so that it always looked like he was doing Important Computer Things to anyone who walked by his desk. Second funniest was all the people I saw playing WoW at their desks after ~5pm, who did it in the office just to give the appearance that they were working late.
“People were willing to do that at SpaceX because Elon was giving them the money to get into outer space, a mission people cared deeply about. The company also grew with and around Elon. There were layers of management between individual employees and Elon, and those managers were experienced managersElon. Again, I cannot stress enough how much of the company culture was oriented around managing this one guy.
