To work with Elron at SpaceXtology all you need to do is apply to one of their open positions though SpaceX pays shit so you'd be taking a salary cut in order to live some fantasy of furthering humanity by putting billionaires on Mars.

He practices 'management by walking about' meaning he wanders around all day like Aladeen from the Dictator asking strange questions about the rockets "Can we make this more pointy?" so you def will meet him

>>8800821

this. a couple friends of mine did internships at SpaceX and they pay utter dogshit. you are there for the hype.

>He practices 'management by walking about' meaning he wanders around all day like Aladeen from the Dictator asking strange questions about the rockets "Can we make this more pointy?" so you def will meet him


Holy kek. I interned there and this is 100% accurate. Sums it up perfectly

>>8800939
Can you describe it? I'm interested

>>8801001
Honestly, it wasn't that different from a normal internship with any other engineering firm. They did treat the interns as real employees, which was nice, although the pay did not reflect this. Work was pretty fast paced, and working ~70hrs/week was expected. Most of the employees were decent people. As for Elon, the other anon's post sums it up perfectly. He walks around the office, comes up to you randomly, asks what you're working on, and then offers some small critique. When I address his suggestion (i.e. "yes, we tried that, and it is sub-optimal for this reason") he would scowl, look like I'm an idiot, and book it out of my cubicle super fast. In meetings, Elon has a huge superiority complex. He asks some straightforward question and then looks around the room like "None of you Schmucks could have ever thought of that". And he always thinks people are inadequate. He doesn't explain himself well? Your fault. He is downright wrong? Your fault. He claims to still work as an engineer, but honestly, he only ever addresses very surface engineering questions. He does seem to have a limitless supply of energy though, which I suppose is an asset.

>>8801016
>Elon has a huge superiority complex

Damn, I knew it, I always intuitively sensed Elon as a huge ego-driven control freak who goes through great lengths to suppress it in interviews and appear humble and kind

>>8801016
70 hrs/week is not normal for engineering interns or full time, even at major firms

t. RTL design engineer

>>8801028
Idk, I interned with digitalglobe prior to spacex (inb4 people find my linkedin) and I was expected to work well over 60hrs/week there. Maybe I've been unlucky and found places with a culture of overworking their interns.

>>8801028
i know plenty of civils that are putting in 70 hours no problem on big infrastructure projects. i also know plenty of field service ME's that are cranking out 100 hour weeks.

>>8801043
If you work anywhere that expects over a 40h workweek you're getting fucked, and that's on the high end of things.

>>8801056
>you're getting fucked
OT was double time for me as an intern, so if i was getting fucked, i loved it.

>>8801056
Well what do you suggest? Most good engineering internships have an expectation that you work a lot. There aren't many options for student jobs with reputable employers, and the competition amongst these interns is fierce. At least it's not as bad as finance

>>8801057
>OT was double time
wtf how do I get this?

>>8801058
Don't get in to an industry that expects you to sell your waking life for money you don't have time to use.

>>8801056
?
Thats why they pay you for it..
Any time sensitive project is going to involve a lot of over time

>>8801058
idk where that guy is working but the only places i know of where you just punch out 9-5 with no OT are federal/state jobs.

>>8801066
That's the only jobs you know of in America by the sounds of it.

>>8798893
yeah but you won't be working WITH him

>>8801063
State law in CA for hours over 52 in a week I believe

>>8801043
Huh, I've never experienced anything like that as an EE

>>8801065
Go away America, we're paid to do our job from 9-5 with a half an hour extra if the job requires it. Job doesn't get done within that time? It'll get done tomorrow
> but then you'll be late on tomorrow's schedule
Then that is bad planning by the management

>>8801101
Why don't you like making more money

>>8801016
>working ~70hrs/week was expected

>>8801105
Because I like not working

>>8801101
well, just so you know thats why euro engineers make 20-30k less than their US counterparts.

>>8801123
we do. Obama fixed that shit.

also
>implying most engineers haven't caught on and negotiate for an hourly wage instead of salary.

>>8801107

Anon, these types of hours are extremely common in any positions whatever of actual responsibility. Basically anything north of the lowest pleb-retail jobs involving anything like a managerial or actual skilled function. I used to have a shit warehouse job at a place that was growing rapidly, and for about 18 months 10-14 hour days, six day weeks were common, averaging 55-70hrs/wk, and I was damn glad to do it-particualrly since I was getting all that mad OT. But I've just described a pure peon role.

You can still have a life outside of work, even with those types of hours. It's once you get into the 80-110 stuff that you're basically a doctor in residence or some poor finance sod who only lives for money and naught else.

>>8801111
I get that, if you NEED money then work yourself to the bone for all I care
The problem I have is the people that don't need the money and aren't enjoying their job. To them I just want to say, move to a different job. You have all this money lying around (or if you've fucked up it's invested in useless things) go try and do something you'll enjoy.

You'll die one of these days and will you be able to say "I've enjoyed my life"?

>>8801132
theres a thing in the US called "paying your dues". your first entry level STEM gig is guaranteed to be a hardcore grind, ideally at a big name company that looks good on a resume. you work that for 3-5 years, grab some licenses/certifications, and then move on. its the nature of our career progression. most people do have the opportunity to get some work-a-day 9-5 gig fresh out of college, but that doesn't pay much and you are setting yourself up for stagnation.

i get that money isn't everything and you need to take time to enjoy life, but building a career doesn't end with school. i've seen guys in their 50's turning the crank on some 65k a year cubicle job and it scares the fuck out of me that if i don't bust my ass i'm going to end up like one of them.

>>8798882
Holy kek just reading some of the things written about him and this one is too good not to post:

Elon Musk is not the best with relationships. He even whispered to his first wife during the wedding, “I am the alpha in this relationship”.

It had already been acknowledged in the above that the job to which I referred was a shit job, so your advice to get a better job is vacuous. I bet you thought that you added something to the exchange by writing that.

Also, your reading comprehension about the scheduling of said shit job sucks.

>>8801143

What a mis-placed and irrational fear. Do you believe that if you work hard enough, you are going to be able to get biological immortality treatments?

Money and status are void; not even procreation will save you. At the end of the game, all the pieces are put back in the same box. The fact that every rich prick ends exactly the same as everyone else is one of the major things which makes life bearable.

>>8798882
Elon Musk's role at spacex is to be a public face of the company and appeal to autists by convincing them he's doing something important so that they'll throw away their lives and work for him practically for free

>>8801143

Expanding slightly on the take-down, here: suppose that after many years, you own your own business, become a billionaire, a real owner/rentier, whatever you like, perhaps simply a modest millionaire, as opposed to your hated cubicle peons. What then?

/Then you're still fucking 50+, and life is still not worth living anymore by that point./ In that respect, you are literally every bit as good as, identical with, your feared nightmare peons: you are an old man who works.

>>8801016
I don't know if you're still here, but if you are, can you answer a question I've always had?

Does Musk actually force his employees to stand outside mission control and scream every time there's a launch? It seems like a lot of them don't want to be there during the night launches, and when there's a scrub on a Friday for some reason basically all of them are still there on the next launch date, even if that's in the middle of the night on a weekend.

>>8801269

>>8801269
I don't know if it's Elon personally who mandates this, but it is absolutely expected that you show up and express false enthusiasm.

>>8801265

sums it up perfectly. The strategy of spacex is to say "we are the most important company in the world" so that they will have lineups of people willing to work 70hrs/week for almost no pay. The mindless cheering was just a piece of this puzzle. Everybody standing around, wishing they were home, hoping their part doesn't fail and then their neck is on the chopping block, trying to muster some small amount of excitement

>>8801281
Yes he sure comes across as an alpha there kek

>>8801267
not at all. because my kids/rest of my family will have been elevated socio-economically and i will have broken a cycle of wage slavery and poverty that stretches back generations.

more importantly, if i work i will be able to work on my own terms and the fruits of my labor will be mine and mine alone.

>>8801283
Wow, that is both extremely sad and extremely funny.

What did you do at SpaceX, anon? Were you working on the Falcon 9? Falcon Heavy? Something more interesting?

Oh, and did anyone there actually care about the rocket landings? Musk always goes on about "the futuuuree of rocketryryyyyy" but it doesn't seem like many people see reusable rockets as very relevant.

>>8801265
Elon Musk makes all the big calls on what to do

>>8801295
I was mainly a software engineer/doing some EE, mostly building tools for the other engineers to use.

I don't really understand the hype. Spacex will make it cheaper to launch satellites. That's about it. Reusable rockets might be useful, we will see. But we only need so many satellites, and launch costs are not even the principal cost involved in building/operating a satellite. In my experience, spacex is a meme company. Elon seems like a downright miserable guy who has a lot of strange/bad ideas about how the world works (gossip was always about him having a fucked up childhood/being bullied mercilessly, so this might explain it). He tries to keep it under control, but sometimes he just says weird shit. Another intern told me that Elon went on a rant about having a truckload of kids and how that establishes who's dominant in society and compared himself to Genghis Khan. This story was told after a few drinks though, so the intern may have been exaggerating

>>8801320
>Another intern told me that Elon went on a rant about having a truckload of kids and how that establishes who's dominant in society and compared himself to Genghis Khan

Now that's fucking funny

>>8801288

This misses the point, and you have the classic delusion of the productive adult, a sort of practiced, "protestant work ethic" that keeps the self-justifying grind going.

You hold at bay the simple fact that you, and everyone you will ever love and care about, will all be dead within a few decades on the outside.

What is the point of breaking the cycle of poverty if one does not break the cycle of death? The correct answer: there is none.

>>8801340
Academia. Of course, there is a downside.

>>8801343
I saw some assemblies, and obviously was at mission control for the launches.

I did see Elon frequently. He's very involved in things and it's a small team.

It's not hard to get an internship. Grades don't matter, I have a shit GPA. I do a lot of hackathons, engineering competitions, have been on several robotics teams, and had that internship with digitalglobe. Also keep in mind they're basically only allowed to hire americans under ITAR, so that reduces the competition greatly

>>8801356
>>I saw some assemblies, and obviously was at mission control for the launches.
Which ones? Were you around for CRS-8? That one was my favorite.

>I did see Elon frequently. He's very involved in things and it's a small team.
Did he do the "can we make this more pointy" thing or was he actually bringing important shit up?

>>8801356
can you start doing the teams and competitions in college? I went to a shit high school in a rural town without any of those programs or even AP classes. How do you seek out these groups at college?

>>8801352
you mistakenly believe the grind doesn't end. you think that there isn't such a thing as self perpetuating wealth even when people who live that lifestyle are right in front of your eyes.

there is a privileged upper class, and wanting my progeny to be apart of it is not delusional or unrealistic.

>>8801370
Not going to say which ones, since that will tell everyone exactly when I worked there. Not there for crs8 though.

Elon's questions were not cosmetic, but they clearly were being asked by a guy who wasn't intimately familiar with the work. These engineering teams have thought of every angle. Elon would always give suggestions about things we had already tried and new didn't work, but then he'd look at us like we are idiots and that's why it failed.

>>8801375
You've got to start early. If you're in eng or comp sci, join clubs and hang out with the hardcore competitive crowd. I started by doing the concrete toboggan team and then met people working on a drone ship project, they introduced me to people working on a weather ballon instrument, and it went from there. You've got to get plugged into the community early by joining clubs and stuff

>>8801386
okay thanks, I'm a bit aspie so I didn't know if there was a listing somewhere of groups or you just have to try and find them through other people

>>8801391
I would just reiterate, start early. It's not awkward in first year to be actively seeking these things out. Nobody has friend at first, etc. But in later years, people have settled in, and then it gets weird if you're the guy suddenly trying to join these teams

>>8801395
gotcha, thanks man

>>8801382
>Elon's questions were not cosmetic, but they clearly were being asked by a guy who wasn't intimately familiar with the work. These engineering teams have thought of every angle.

He does sound like an asshole when you put it like that. Are people scared of him?

Do you have any information on the MCT? From everything I've read about it, it seems to just be a huge trick Musk is pulling on his investors to get them to stay in. Look at this graph, it's almost as delusional as the ramblings of people who think Tesla is worth as much as Ford.

Seriously? Everything is bad now, but as soon as we make another Saturn V without much government support, everything will be amazing and we'll all live on Mars in harmony?

It is however very, very stupid, especially if you yourself cannot be a part of the elect.

Wanting a better future for one's children is another stupidity, closely bound up with the above delusion already described.

The man who plants a tree whose shade he knows that he will never rest in, is not therefore wise. The negation of this statement is an analogous delusion that the human animal is primed by its own will-to-life delusion, to think true.

At the extreme end of all this is where the whole thing flips, the "value system" I've suggested thus far. In the event that the davos-rich, the rentiers, the Bogdanoffs of the world do get biological immortality going for themselves, then this will be an ontological game-changer, and it will necessitate their elimination.

>It is however very, very stupid, especially if you yourself cannot be a part of the elect

there is nothing saying i won't be able to. plenty of people retire early and wealthy and i'm already well on my way.

you also make a bunch of ignorant assumptions, like i'm going to be working 60 hours a week till i'm 50. there is another difference between me and the cubicle drone. credentialing and high level experience make it so you get paid more for working less. if you think this is untrue, you are completely ignorant of the engineering profession. i know successful PE's who spend only a couple of hours a week stamping prints and take home a considerable sum. do i really have to explain investing in ones own career to you? apparently so.

what you are saying is equivalent to "just spend all your money now because saving it for later won't get you anything in the long run"

thats foolish.

also, i don't care about your prattling about "muh biological immortality". thats philosophical masturbation and not imminent enough of a reality to be of concern.

>>8801503
> Wealth Upbringing
was he that wealthy?
I thought he made his money being a decent engineer/paypal

>>8801635
He made his money by getting his startups bought out

>>8801672
And he's currently making his money by being a welfare queen. He's all-in into his companies and if they go bankrupt, he's done, which means that every next subsidy is technically safeguarding his wealth

>>8801680
?
How can you go bankrupt when he's in an industry with zero competition & unlimited demand?

>>8801681
He bought it (with Tesla capital) before the bankruptcy and merged it with Tesla, and then proceeded to make meme factories with solar panels to justify his retarded move

>>8801840
They "came up with" a field of mathematics only they can understand, post anabelian froeboid geometrics. They took IUTeich to the next level. PAFG spawned off from a connection they saw between General Relativity, Witten's work in string theory, Grothendieck's work in anabelian geometry and IUTeich. They realised if they applied a new metric called the froeboid to the algebraic fundamental group G of an algebraic variety V, a pattern emerged which was fundamentally similar to patterns found in both string theory and modern general relativity, thus connecting the two. Objects are already capable of traveling through space, but this provided an answer as to how we can travel through time by connecting two points in time much like a wormhole connects two points in space, and it also gave us the answer as to why we experience time in only one direction and how we can build a device to travel in both (which they already built). Further work in this field by the brothers showed us that just like space can have multiple dimensions, so can time. So rather than just being able to go "forwards" or "backwards" through time, we might also be able to go "up" or "down". Space and time are essentially two identical constructs (of which there are more, though these are inaccessible to us, these different constructs are called existence yielding matrices or EYMs) just like horizontal and vertical are identical constructs, it's just from our reference point as beings which primarily exist in space and only secondarily in time, they seem very different. It's possible that other beings live primarily in time, primarily in both, or even primarily in all possible dimensions of all possible EYMs in existence. Ready for the next bombshell? Just like an infinite number of dimensions exist in each of the infinitely man EYMs, an infinite amount of EYMs exist in each of whatever the next structure is (we still understand little about it), and so on for all structures above that.

Elon Musk just won the dotcom lottery, he now lives in a bubble surrounded by yes-men and sycophants who coax him into believing things like the hyperloop meme which is as ridiculous as SOLAR FREAKING ROADWAYS

if he took a shit on the floor all his shills would jump on it, smear it all over their faces and ingest a little

>>8801320
It not a meme company.It is really important for space tourism.Commericalizing astronomy will increase the budgets of this field.Elon may have lack of humor and have sone obsession aboput his identity,ego but he is really doing his jobs close to perfect and he is investing really important and right things.By insulting him you guys are just gaining free mental pleasure,nothing more and gaining free reward is so cringey fior others.Please dont do this.

The memeing and celebrity status is all calculated from Elon.

He wants his company to succeed. It is easier for your company to succeed if you meme the fuck out of everyone.

At the end of the day I'm ok with this because he companies are doing legitimate work.

Elon Musk is downright pretty evil.

Pick one anon. Elon Musk makes toys for rich people, look at Tesla. It's not going to save the world, same as Space X is not going to save humanity. He makes a living on autistics beliving the hype and the cult around it and subsidies from the government.

>>8804613
When there would be a new technology always rich people use those things first.Look at tesla they are always trying to make cheaper cars and to make this you need to atract rich people first.But opf course just making electiric cars doesnot save the nature.Because now we are using generaly fossil fuels for generating electiricity.So because of this creating more developed and way more cheaper solar panels are really so important.In private sector everthing works like this.You need to reach rich people first.We cannot go further with nasa's 20 billion dollar and esa's 5 billipn dollar anymore.We couldntt even go to moon after apollo missions.Because there is no enough budget.This field needs much more money than this and private companies always increase the budget of everyfield by commericalizing them.Maybe you will not be able to a space tourist but your grandchildrens probably will.

I have nothing against rich people, I love capitalism. But at the same I realize this is not important in the grand scheme of things.
Why are you focusing on the future, when we could be focusing on the now. Still give R and D to solar energy and implement it when it's practical, solar power in it's current state and even looking 20 years forward can't be the main source of energy for our consumption. Instead of funding a "mass production" of Telsa vehicles that will still be unfordable for most Americans/Canadians (35k for the new Tesla), fund public transportation, it's more efficient and helps more people travel than Tesla could ever do.

Everything complaint I've read about working for him was written by a pussy who wanted a comfortable life, not an actual engineer who wanted to build things because they knew they were important to society. Modern attitudes towards work are so fucking cancerous and lazy it makes me sick. Calling someone a "workaholic" is code for, "I'm a giant self-absorbed pussy that needs weekends because I don't understand the impact of my work." Only fags take breaks. My grandfather never fucking retired and worked until the day he died and so did everyone else worth mentioning from his generation. It wasn't "just their culture" it was because they knew what they were doing was important. Boomers, Gen Xers and millenials have no idea what the fuck they're doing or why it matters. They think rockets are fucking toys.

Prefer that to being an engineer that kills himself at work

My dad is an interior decorator. He said that Elon came into the Home Depot one day and he was a real dummy.

Why spend your life working your ass off? Our species and, the individuals that find themselves a part of it, arent worth the effort. I recommend finding a job that pays well, doing as little as humanly possible, finding a mate, procreating then just kicking back and enjoying life. Do some drugs, play video games, pursue hobbies. Thats what real intelligent people do, working your ass off is for chumps.

I saw Elon Musk at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

So I heard that the ITS was cancelled because the composite tanks aren't viable.
