Elon Musk: A lot of companies are honey traps for talented engineers. Tesla and SpaceX aren't honey traps. We're demanding and you'll get a lot of shit done. “I consider one of my core responsibilities running companies to have an environment where great engineers can flourish. I think in a lot of companies, maybe most companies, if somebody's a really talented, driven engineer, their talents are suppressed. At some of the companies the engineering talent is suppressed in a way that is maybe not obviously bad, but where it's just so comfortable and you're paid so much money but the output you actually have to produce is so low that it's like a honey trap. There's a few honey trap places in Silicon Valley where they don't necessarily seem like bad places for engineers, but you have to say a good engineer went in and what did they get out? And the output of that engineering talent seems very low, even though they seem to be enjoying themselves. That's why I call it, there's a few honey trap companies in Silicon Valley. Tesla is not a honey trap. We're demanding and you're going to get a lot of shit done. And it's gonna be really cool and it's not gonna be easy, but if you are a super-talented engineer, your talents will be used, I think to a greater degree than anywhere else. SpaceX is also that way.” Tesla AI Day, September 30, 2022
