This gets to the wildest thing about the Musk's "go hardcore or leave" email. There was no indication of what people were going hardcore for. It was all about how hard the road was, but no talk about the reward or the goal or the destination. And if your recommit or quit email is so poorly thought out, it doesn't bode well for whatever "vision" eventually follows.

I don't think anyone is wondering why people left - I'm more curious why some people chose to stay.

Keeping h1b sponsorship is likely one big one. I hope the government entity that watches over compliance with that status makes sure the Musk doesn't abuse their situation :(

The h1b requirement is the abusive situation

the competent 10%?

just joking, bootstrap aside the only thing I remember about Twitter engineers was the "happiness" password incident and several similar cases. Competent may be a stretch.

Guess that's why elons now head competent

The desperate stay.

People with medical issues who can't afford to be without insurance.

>Would you sacrifice time with your kids over the holidays for vague assurances and the opportunity to make a rich person richer or would you take the out?

This quote right here says it all.

I'm sorry but who is this guy and why should we care?

He received paychecks from Twitter which automatically makes him a hero on HN.

And you are?

And who am I?

What an empty thing to say.

You need someone to be famous in order to listen to their story?

Not famous, but should be relevant. Otherwise it doesn't mean anything at all.
