“Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction”

Well, you won’t suffer from distraction on the job after we can your @$$.

Condemning the man based on allegations? Particularly after the Amber Heard debacle proved beyond a doubt that women can be as viscous, manipulative abusers as any man, sans the brute strength?

I don’t know that I’d want someone from that particular intellectual pool working on my rocket ships.

This is the kind of toxic leftist idiocy that needs to be wholesale banished from the public forum, and at the very least, from corporate America.

If an employee tells me to fuck off, I can fire them period in Texas.

And that’s basically what these people are doing.

He should start with the lowest performers on the list, and see where it leads.

Elon, give me call. I’m a PhD engineer with a track record of rebuilding organizations and I live in the Space Coast area. I’d love to help you rebuild and propel your organization to new heights.

Elon, just tell your SpaceX people that they will be fired if they dare try to impose their will on the Corporation. That is not their job. Period.

This world is utterly insane given how full of easily butthurt people exist within it.

I can bet this tho, Elon won’t tolerate it much and will sh*t can mofos pronto knowing that he has hundreds of applicants to fill those spots waiting in the wings. Bet.

we do the same thing. Top to bottom ALL conservatives MAGA people...

How do we do this? Even during interviews, we ask: who is your favorite president? Seems harmless, right? You answer Clintoon or Obamatard. We carefully cut it down to “we’ll call you” after some stupid boring jbn-related questions.

“Nose on the grindstone” trivia...

Old grinding mill wheels, if they were too close, could heat up and or spark, very bad thing to do when you had fine flour in the air. When I was a kid, would make fuel air bombs. Put a rubber hose in a can of flour with a candle, blow on the hose and boom. So if a miller didn’t keep his nose to the grindstone, trying to detect whiffs of burning or heating, he could go boom. So he had “to keep his nose to the grindstone”.

“Hi Chad, long time no see! Fine, if you touch my wiener, you can have a horse.”

Don’t know the big picture but that line from Musk is hilarious!

Good. Now Musk knows who to fire.

Doubt he'll fire anybody.

He has to show tolerance, unlike those employees attacking him, and unlike those at Facebook and Instagram and Google and other liberal media social websites.

The idea that those woke employees are judging without having all the facts, might be reason enough to fire, though.

And, Elon should lay out the law within his organizations, where politics should stay out of the workplace and politics should not be how internal personal decisions are made. Anybody violates those rules, is automatically firing him/herself.

I hate these ‘draft letters’ which an individual is writing and trying to get peoples to sign.

I have no information either way but my guess is this letter originated “outside” the company, most likely from one of the many Soros backed organizations and fed to a SJW inside SpaceX.

These new-age employees ... who the f*** do they think they are? Why so entitled? If we had done that during my career it would’ve been curtains for us at that company.

Sure you can. But that's not what they said.

Federal labor law applies in every state, regardless of whether or not it is a right to work state, and regardless of whether the workforce is unionized. You can choose to believe me or not, although I've been doing this stuff for more than two decades.

I agree with the principle that men in leadership should be gentlemen and not make public comments they could not share with their children.
But the letter is wimpy. Tell him to his face, in person. He would respect that, I bet.
