Given the gender distribution of the software and ai fields it could be a coincidence however given elons track record it seems like a fair concern to raise. Often the beginning of an enterprise sets the tone of a companies culture and if it’s a toxic environment right now there’s little hope to change it in the future
Why would they even put him on the list of employees this fucker literally does nothing all day then underpays people smarter than him to enrich himself and take all the credit?
Do you really think he designed Anything of value to any of his companies besidea captial?
The lady im charge of spacex probably hates him
Tesla execs probably hate him
Elon does seem to be able to speak at least on some level about rocket design. His statements and very public beefs with his own engineers at Twitter however demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of coding for large scale infrastructure like Twitter.
He has a team of skilled coders. If you follow some of the complaints about twitter you find out the infrastructure is kinda fed up.
Apparently programmers where getting incentives for how many libraries they created and how often they where used.
This lead to reinventing basic things like load balancers and web servers from scratch vs very optimized open source solutions. Essentially reinventing the wheel instead of new features .
George Hotz known for various coding and hacking projects was there and did an interview recently where he discuss how the code base was next to impossible to maintain in its current state at Twitter.
STEM Self-Importance Syndrome, where knowledge in one aspect of STEM leads someone to believe they have knowledge and understanding of EVERYTHING even though there's actually a lot of big differences between Rocket Science and Computer Programming.
Rocket scientists are pretty susceptible to this because "It's not rocket science" is an actual phrase used to mean "this job is easy." Computer science is not rocket science, but it's not easy either and it's not something a rocket scientist can just jump in and do.
Elon is an asshole but he isn’t an idiot as some would claim.
It's honestly too difficult to tell since he's constantly grifting and lying his way through life. For immediate example, he was making some fairly false statements about how rapidly his team "could colonize mars". To seem impressive and "make the sale", he threw out some wild number of how many colonists they could get settled by a certain year (number was maybe a million, timeline was maybe 2050, I'm forgetting at this point) but the moment anyone who was actually good at math, astronomy, engineering or rocket science examined that number and timeline it was clearly bull shit with no possible way to accomplish it.
He's smart enough to be in a room with folks smarter than him, but everyone else is carrying the load while he takes credit.

It is absolutely true that ANY time estimate that comes out of his mouth is a hopeless stretch, we all know what everyone through about his plan for reusable rockets a few years back and now SpaceX delivers more cargo to orbit than all other providers on earth, and almost all of them combined even.

Curious if you think the same of Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, and many others who clearly have stand out products etc but where not engineering them themselves but maybe solving the supply chain issues, pushing the design etc? Do we get iPhones or Model T without them building the companies, teams and pushing their products to specific goals?
Well, we know Zuckerberg is an android but Musk is not close enough to human to be one. I wanna say he's one of those goblin things that faeries leave in place of a child they stole.
What's really funny is, all of those profiles only have links to their Twitter accounts, but you can't see them unless you make a Twitter account yourself.
Musk is going to hire people he feels "comfortable" around.
Musk was born and raised a rich male in apartheid South Africa, and he hasn't matured since leaving - 42069 amirite? tesla fart noises hahaha! tesla models S3XY!
He has been repeatedly accused of both racist and misogynistic behavior, of course he's going to "feel most comfortable" with white males. This is literally how glass ceilings are made.
Maybe he has been accused of racist and misogynistic behavior because he is racist and misogynistic. I sure as hell have seen him share antisemitic, transphobic, misogynistic, and racist content on his personal Twitter account. He offered to buy an employee a horse if she would sleep with him, for fuck's sake.
Glass ceilings are not made because a person is actually a victim of a smear campaign, they're made because a person wants to hold onto power without being held accountable for the shitty things they do.
Don't be an apologist for racists and sexists. You know why Musk is most comfortable around white men. It's because he's an insecure racist and sexist piece of shit.
