OP:
Elon is a great cult leader. Knew it from the start and accepted it. My opinion of him changed a few weeks ago when he said, we are cutting 10%. I get it, business is business but I know for a fact that certain people in the company should have been let go long ago. I know a few people who simply walk around the building all day and never do anything.

I have to admit Elon has done a great job to get a cult like following, these r-slurs are being worked to the bone for some PR marketing BS promoting it as they are doing this for the greater good.
Than their boss decides to throw them away like used pottyry and they just grumble about it no real outrage as once again it's for the greater good.

It's less pay than the silicon valley norm. If I was young and was offered a paycheck that could set me up for life in just a couple years and then I could go find a reasonable job after I wouldn't be a clock watcher either.

Having worked a tech job before when I was younger I can understand the appeal of wanting to impress your employers but what I learned it doesn't really matter in the end they don't really give a shit about how much extra you do it's not like the moneys coming out of their pocket they just want to meet there targets for the bonuses.
It depends on how much you are willing to let them take libierties with you however if you can get a decent paying position you can also find a decent employer where you aren't being taken advantage of.
It's like when the manager/boss has that one special employee they are overly friendly with just so they can get them to do all the work the other workers will outright decline.

Honestly I'm guessing the people that work there aren't doing it for only cash (at least the engrs) they're doing it cuz they think it's really really cool to work at Tesla and SpaceX and whatever. Because it is really cool to work at those places lol. One you're building Tesla's and the next gen of cars. The other you're a frickin rocket scientist lol.

Yep, but they get mad at you if you just do a 9-6 (it's not really 9-5 anymore unless it's finance ime) and don't really care about working late.
IME, the people who move up quick are great at the social game and sit with the CIO/CTO/whatever and talk about what can be done to save money or fix shit. Code monkeys who are good at code monkeying stay where they are and probs will never get laid off but won't move anywhere. The social game is the most important thing in corporate.
