| Was doge ever anything more than a "get root, grab the data, and run" operation? |

| ▲ | pstuart 14 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Don't forget the destruction of USAID and countless projects that had the word "diversity" in its work. | |

| Karparthy worked for Elon for, what, 5 years? How did he do it, if Elon is Ivan the Terrible? |

| ▲ | cmorgan31 14 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Mate, wouldn’t it make sense that these rules are applied via hierarchy? If Elon respects Karparthy he almost certainly gave him a longer leash and Karparthy’s output was strong enough to not warrant intervention. It’s clear he did not want to stay long term so I’m not sure this is a strong line of thinking. | | |
| ▲ | GeorgeTirebiter 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | It's possible. I don't know. My tone comes off as support Elon, and I do not, at all. I've seen first-hand almost all of these tactics while I was at <Elon Company>. I'm observing that some people seem to do OK at Elon's companies, and for many years, and never seem to get the boot or be abused in other ways. Therefore, Elon is probably not quite as bad a manager as he is made out to be. This is all I am saying. Since I have firsthand knowledge, I believe my opinion has value. Those that disagree? Show me your Source of Truth. Thank you. |
