Terrible CEO

Pros

The pay was good enough, but not great

Cons

Elon Musk is an overrated dilettante who consistently proves to be a harmful influence. Despite his grandiose claims, his actions reveal a disturbing tendency to enable racism and foster an environment of incompetence. His Twitter antics are just the tip of the iceberg, showcasing his lack of genuine insight and responsibility. Musk’s public persona is a façade, masking the troubling reality of his behavior and impact on society. He’s more harmful than helpful. Overall, he is the product of privilege, not outsized intellect, and duplicitous exploiter of those who traffic in the idolatry of self-professed innovators.

Pros

You're probably reading this bc you've seen us publicly take big swings all through 2020. What it's like inside: Deeply mission driven, all the way down. Smart, kind coworkers, earnest and caring mgmt. Not a good place for sharks. Incredibly committed to equity - I've never reported to a more diverse leadership team. The good news is the cons are well known (growth, revenue, velocity). These are huge opportunities if we can unlock them. Mgmt has listened and hired heavy hitters at the exec level, who are filling out senior leaders 2-3 levels down. Doing the right things in terms of big bets and velocity too - just need to stay the course and accelerate. For those comfortable in chaos with experience scaling companies, this is a really interesting time to join.

Cons

A late bloomer, Twitter often still feels like a teenage startup in terms of process chaos. Some healthy grumbling as we mature and processes change, but Tweeps are a remarkably good natured if talkative bunch, and we take our vitamins without being toxic.
