I feel bad for the engineers that work there. But I feel great that it's literally destroying musk net worth.

Many of them are immigrants who got in with work visas so they can't easily change jobs. Elon knows this and exploits the situation. It's all just terrible.

If it continues like this the shareholders will pressure him to remove himself from the board. Sadly I think he still owns a controlling stake, so they can't fire him.
