@rikdhuyvetters1953 like Tim Cook and apple... he was more of a Dick to his employees. Elon is asking for the best work. A CEO, sleeping on the floor to get things done (he one of 2 ceo that knows software and engineering) I think Toyota is the other, so that others will also work hard... really?
@@shawncooper8131 Yes, Tim cook was a insensitive dick as well, not really a secret. But you can also ask for the best work as a kind person.

I had the same thought. A gauge block is several thousand times more expensive per kg than scrap steel because it is several thousand times more accurate. Calling a cost per kg an idiot gauge is a great way to ensure that things are never made accurate or accurate things are always made out of the most expensive, not the best material.
@@non_gamer9912 yeah, could also be called complexity index or something, but I imagine the point is to disincentives things being overly complex. They made flying rockets, and now want to bring down the cost of manufacture to gain a larger TAM
It's not really that useful. There are much better ways to identify high and inefficiencient cost centers in manufacturing. This idiot Index just gives you a very broad assessment of situation. The next step is you start working from the top of that list categorically to assess which of those high idiot components can have their costs reduced or made more efficient. That's the real important part of the analysis. Focusing on some catchy term like the idiot Index makes one look like an idiot tbh.

Yes, logic does not care about feelings. But that's rich, coming from a person who called someone a pedo during a debate on how to conduct a rescue operation. A clear example of trying to hurt someone's feelings to prove an unrelated point. Consistency in conduct is required for a leader to be respected.
This is why u should not speak about things u don't know enough about. The "Pedo" diver was not in primary rescue team, and Sub was one of alternative rescue efforts, being designed by Space X team, free of cost, on inputs from Primary dive team leader. Consistency in "success" is needed for leader to be respected. Rest everything is nice to have.
This from the guy sitting there demanding stupid precise tolerances on Teslas when the company can't make standard industry tolerances with brand new cars having huge gaps. Yet he wanted something like . 001 or something. Along with his rants about immigrants, and believing in misinformation. I feel like he is out of touch or getting there.
My Father coined the term...moron magnet. Me and my brother would walk into his office and he'd say....I just turned on my moron magnet, and you 2 showed up😂❤
Moron Magnet. If Elon kept one of these in his pocket for the last decade, that would explain just about everything. He's still scamming people and people are still celebrating his scams.
No, space industry is different and it’s very dangerous to send astronauts in space. Everything has to be seamless and perfect, there’s no room for mistakes or excuses from anyone. Business is business and those that are too soft to take criticism should go work in a hotel cleaning rooms instead of working in a competitive, humanity evolving industry. I run a business and it doesn’t matter what is happening with the crew in their personal life, the customer is expecting us on a certain day to finish the job and we will be there to do it or else they could cancel then bash our company with terrible reviews and kill the company overnight. It happens that fast. Reputation is everything. Those that have never run a business will never understand.
@@multiplesourcesofincome7037 You are right. Reputation is very important. Can you explain how Elon has kept this cult-type following, despite the fact that he has never produced anything of value besides a few cars?

I dont think he was neither mean nor rude. The analyst was suppose to know, thats his job. Elon reprimanded his and for good reasons, but didnt fire him. Some managers I have worked with, wouldn hesitate to kick him out, because he wasnt able to do the job he was hired for.
The guy didn't know his job, end of story. Don't be weak minded. He didn't insult the guy, he was in charge and he didn't know. So Elon made sure he Knew. Your feeling don't run the world.
Another emotional person here criticizing Musk. Those rockets will carry people in the futur. If there is a mistake because a man lost his kid, just maybe some other kid will lose his mom or dad for the mistakes of that guy. Limiting morning and suffering.
A few people are saying it's not Musk's fault because he's "on the spectrum" and is unaware of the offence he's causing. I have an ASD and I know that it's very, very wrong to call someone a pedo based on no evidence whatsoever and refuse to apologise.

@activision4170 Intense. At first I was on board with the vision including acquiring solar city. But during the merge with tesla, I became aware of how he actually operates and how much luck was actually involved. Yes he is a genius, but also an egotistical kid. And since he understands short attention spans, he uses it to his advantage. Nothing is ever delivered on time. And it's the same way in his personal and business life. But in the business side, there is always someone to fire for his lack of time management. Plus I learned a pattern with him and crypto. I always buy bitcoin between the 3rd week of November and the 3rd week of December. That little tip he gave me has yielded a lot of money as it always recovers by mid January. He told me companies that hold sell off to pay taxes. And that will always drop the price. I've been a buyer during those time spans for over 5 years now and it's has made my family very comfortable.

Lol. Elon has manufactured more things then any living human probably. He is an engineer first before anything. If you don't know that, then maybe you should do research before opening your mouth. The dude is a master of manufacturing and building. That's literally the only reason he is where he is today. It's his distinguishing trait. That's how he became the CEO of these companies.

Knew a guy that worked for NASA after the Air Force. I asked him what is it that an Astronaut needs to have a basis in, what are the skill requirements. He told me that you don't teach them skills, you teach them how to diagnose and troubleshoot a problem in a way that is near universal. He put it as training them to never fail. He also said that 90% of the time, what you are diagnosing and troubleshooting is a person. He said in a vast majority of systems the problem is a person, but so is the solution. And that doesn't mean just getting rid of people. It means fixing them. It often looks like this.
@@ogawasanjuro lol, I've worked directly under Elon, he is a very good and reasonable person. He just has high expectations and respects a strong work ethic because he has that himself. Tell me, do we not create a lot of our standards and expectations based of ourselves? Is it wrong to hold people to the same standards yourself? Back when I worked for him at the start of the Falcon 9 project he would sleep in his office often and we'd be working form 6am to 2am for a few weeks until we got over the crux of an issue, it may sound horrible to you but if you truly love what you are doing then it's not that bad at all, it's exciting. To be clear, it wasn't always like that, these sort of things tend to go in cycles, like 6 months of that sort of dedication and then you get an equal amount of time where you're heading home at lunch or working 4 ten hour days, hell, in between programs I'd take a month or two off and go hang out in SE Asia or the Maldives. I miss that old job and the life it afforded me, sure I worked hard but I got to travel the world, money was never an issue and I got to work on some of the coolest stuff on the planet.

@@NinjaSushi2 Oh look an Elonfanboy got off his knees for a moment. It is quite easy to believe of Elon seeing as he posts some horrendous things through his X all the time. He is a narcissistic a-hole who takes credit for what his engineers accomplish.
So someone who is involved in and responsible for the money around a rocket, is asked about money around the rocket and doesn't know? And gets told to learn their business? People get paid to know their job, and when that job involves the life and death of others you had better know it cold. Take your morality from common sense and what you would expect if you were the one downstream of someone who doesn't know their job and your life depends on them knowing their job. Not from paraphrasing youtube shorts where the aim is to generate outrage into subs and likes.
Elon knows the reality of the universe does not care how it affects you. However, an excellent employer serves it's employees just as much as they serve the company.
How was he rude? You mean expecting the guy to do his job? If you're affected in your private life to the point you can't perform the job you are employed to do you need to hand over to someone who can, or get your shit together.
@@peteconrad2077 No. He needs to take time off if it's affecting his work. Do you think musk is tracking his personal life?

There is not a single successful boss that does not have to lay off people throughout their career. Especially if you are actually pursuing shit that is deemed impossible by most people.

@@______IV I never claimed that the boss is never at fault or that a boss can't be a bad boss. It also doesn't matter if it is the boss' fault for picking the wrong person, or if he got tricked. If an employee is not performing to the minimum standard they're required to, for whatever reason, then you tell them that they have to perform better in the future or they will be replaced. I am pretty sure this is also something people applying for high positions in companys like space x are very much aware of. I also never claimed that it is enjoyable for everyone to work for a dude like elon, but it's not like he is forcing people to work for him. There is no need to feel offended for another man who knowingly got himself in difficult a situation, having to face a hard situation.
I read Elons bio long ago, and you can be sure I would never work for him. There are more important things in my life than saving mankind on mars. 🤦♂️
Yes. That’s literally how the free market works. Value is determined by supply and demand. If people want the pay he offers, it comes with his management style. If they want a different management style that is more popular, they will have to compete with other snowflakes by taking less pay. Literally NOBODY has a gun to their head working for Elon, so your weak-willed opinions are irrelevant to people with vastly more fortitude.
they all left so… Look at their engineering team now and it’s a bunch of 20 year olds. Almost all of the original falcon 9 engineers are long gone- and Elon is the reason for many of them. I have acquaintances that worked at Hawthorne and the stories they have of him scolding and firing people for the stupidest stuff is unreal. He is a tyrannical leader. So this story sounds right. If anyone thinks this is an example of good leadership then I don’t think you’ve ever experienced a good leader.
Physics may not care about your feelings, but it also doesn't care about the cost of a part as based on its raw materials. Only a profit-centered manager would create such a useless index, when the true answer to Musk's original question is "It doesn't matter, because every piece in every step is being built by the lowest bidder."
Launchpad problems too the other day. Some things just need money to be spent. You cant get things for free. Physics dont care about how expensive things are.
Well that would be true , if the company only worked like other aerospace institutions, slow and steady. 1 tests and partly a low failure rate . Instead in SpaceX they just get the rockets off the asambly an they go to the pad or get reused to Nex Gen prototype, if for every 10 , 50 , 100 rocket's you get one "for free" by just only finding the most inefficient part (in terms of raw Mat and end Prod) it's a huge deal , that indicator may show that , the part in cuestion was being build with subpar tec or procedures. Or it may be just expensive because there isn't a better way to do it , In some part the progress In sciences are related to inefficient/backwards methods, being replaced by ingenious or more efficient methods
The whole point of SpaceX from its Inception is to significantly reduce the cost of spaceflight with the goal of making it possible to move a sci-fi number of people to Mars. We can make fun of this mission or say he's off his meds, but they are at least consistent with their action. Presumably in their mind, the only reason why a part can't be made cheaper is due to unsolved problems until as you point out, laws of physics prevent it from becoming any more efficient. Such an index is far from useless in this context, but a constant (self deprecating?) reminder that they need to do better.
@@aaron4820 going to mars is the worst possible goal we could set for ourselves. History will remember all this suffering happening while we are burning money to go to mars for no good reason.

He has never met any dates or targets he has spouted in his many press and investor meetings. The end products always end up late and underperforming when finally seen.
Hate to be that guy, but I think there's a bit of a clarification over here, it seems. It was in 2016 that he estimated that humans will go to Mars by 2025 (technically 1 more year left) BUT, considering the most optimal path to date to Mars takes 2 years and maybe you could adjust the parameters and decrease the timeframe, I don't think reaching mars by 2025 is possible. But don't get me wrong, just because it didn't happen within his estimation, doesn't mean it's scam. Do you seriously think that spacex is making bs??? They are doing real work, but it's just due delayed that's it. So Please don't get to conclusions so immediately that it's a scam or its a fraud. After all, we all are humans right? We make mistakes, but it doesn't mean all those mistakes are scam...

Elon not knowing about the guys lost daughter aside. you guys don't seem to understand the severity of what that means if it were just laziness (in the situation where this it what it looked like at first) a single mistake can put countless lives at risk. those engines and tanks are essentially bombs when something goes wrong. up to square kilometer people can die from the heat the blast or flying debri. 1-5 kilometers past that you still get damage from the shockwave and debri which could still hurt someone. this isnt oops i made a mistake but it will be ok. its oops i made a mistake and now people are dead.
thats why you have checks on everything. Someone is bound to screw up slmetime, but that shouldnt matter as the system should be designed to allow for error discovery and rectifying. A hostile work environment just results in flaws being hidden up. How many times have you sent an email or submitted homework etc, only to discover an error?

But you can also ask for the best work as a kind person.

Also, I don't believe for a second that he's sleeping on the factory floor, that is just blowing smoke up everyone's a$$es.
What a cool totally not bullshit story about working harder instead of taking personal time to recover from trauma
To be fair that's kinda the worker's fault. Elon is a workaholic but he realized that regular mortals have needs so he would've given him PTO.
If your not going to take pto and you are just going to go into work. Then you are expected to work. Especially at their pay.

Im having a hard time believing that that would be at all useful when talking about something as complex and precise as a rocket
cost of manufacture
I had the same thought. A gauge block is several thousand times more expensive per kg than scrap steel because it is several thousand times more accurate.
Calling a cost per kg an idiot gauge is a great way to ensure that things are never made accurate or accurate things are always made out of the most expensive, not the best material.
@@non_gamer9912 yeah, could also be called complexity index or something, but I imagine the point is to disincentives things being overly complex. They made flying rockets, and now want to bring down the cost of manufacture to gain a larger TAM
It's not really that useful. There are much better ways to identify high and inefficiencient cost centers in manufacturing. This idiot Index just gives you a very broad assessment of situation. The next step is you start working from the top of that list categorically to assess which of those high idiot components can have their costs reduced or made more efficient. That's the real important part of the analysis. Focusing on some catchy term like the idiot Index makes one look like an idiot tbh.

@activision4170 Intense. At first I was on board with the vision including acquiring solar city. But during the merge with tesla, I became aware of how he actually operates and how much luck was actually involved. Yes he is a genius, but also an egotistical kid. And since he understands short attention spans, he uses it to his advantage. Nothing is ever delivered on time. And it's the same way in his personal and business life. But in the business side, there is always someone to fire for his lack of time management.
Plus I learned a pattern with him and crypto. I always buy bitcoin between the 3rd week of November and the 3rd week of December. That little tip he gave me has yielded a lot of money as it always recovers by mid January. He told me companies that hold sell off to pay taxes. And that will always drop the price. I've been a buyer during those time spans for over 5 years now and it's has made my family very comfortable.

He also said that 90% of the time, what you are diagnosing and troubleshooting is a person. He said in a vast majority of systems the problem is a person, but so is the solution.

they all left so… Look at their engineering team now and it’s a bunch of 20 year olds. Almost all of the original falcon 9 engineers are long gone- and Elon is the reason for many of them.

Physics may not care about your feelings, but it also doesn't care about the cost of a part as based on its raw materials. Only a profit-centered manager would create such a useless index, when the true answer to Musk's original question is "It doesn't matter, because every piece in every step is being built by the lowest bidder."
Launchpad problems too the other day.
Some things just need money to be spent. You cant get things for free. Physics dont care about how expensive things are.
Well that would be true , if the company only worked like other aerospace institutions, slow and steady. 1 tests and partly a low failure rate . Instead in SpaceX they just get the rockets off the asambly an they go to the pad or get reused to Nex Gen prototype, if for every 10 , 50 , 100 rocket's you get one "for free" by just only finding the most inefficient part (in terms of raw Mat and end Prod) it's a huge deal , that indicator may show that , the part in cuestion was being build with subpar tec or procedures. Or it may be just expensive because there isn't a better way to do it , In some part the progress In sciences are related to inefficient/backwards methods, being replaced by ingenious or more efficient methods
The whole point of SpaceX from its Inception is to significantly reduce the cost of spaceflight with the goal of making it possible to move a sci-fi number of people to Mars. We can make fun of this mission or say he's off his meds, but they are at least consistent with their action. Presumably in their mind, the only reason why a part can't be made cheaper is due to unsolved problems until as you point out, laws of physics prevent it from becoming any more efficient. Such an index is far from useless in this context, but a constant (self deprecating?) reminder that they need to do better.
Well withoht profit we die so its fine only a communist terrorist hates profits. Do you hate profit?

We never did things twice.
I learnt a lot from him.
He was a good man, I realised latter.
I applied his lessons for years.
I grew professionally and saw that he was just as focused on his role.
Same. I still keep in touch with that boss, and I would work for him again in a heartbeat.
Same!
You’re lucky to have a role model
Same, best experience of my life. I know people are too fragile to be challenged now days, but getting challenged makes you grow 10 times faster.
@@Yattayatta people were fragile then.
When I made a mistake he would unload and in the middle I learnt what I should have been doing.
He felt better.
I would say nothing, and immediately work in the new direction.
That's how I learnt. And hoped he would not fire me.
Money in the bank every day i kept my job and sometimes he enjoyed my success.
You have to be tough in the real world.
Hahaha 👍
And every day my work history was stronger for the next job interview.
Hahaha Hahaha.
See it depends how you look at things.
Elon Musk and Idiot Index certainly belong in the same sentence.
I love seeing people like you have to cope with reality that Elon is ridiculously successful :).
I turned down a SpaceX job offer a couple of years ago and I have never once regretted it.
Cleaning lady
are you working for their competition?
Miss what do you work as today...?
Worste decision ever. The man literally sleeps under his desk to show his employees that he is just as dedicated to his work as they should be. It's sad that you gave up working for a great man and company because you would rather believe yt shorts instead of watching a 4 hr long interview with him. He is quite a wholesome person when he is allowed to speak, unedited for himself.
@bridgetgraves1032 will you answer us please
If my boss spoke to me like that he'd be accepting my resignation right there and then.
Employing the right people is the key to success.

@@Words-of-encouragement.-.My feelings are hurt 🥺👉👈 company bad
This isn’t being tough. This is being a dick. The guy had a reason to not be quite on his game. Musk should’ve known that and taken account.
If you sh£& on your staff it crumbles faster.
The question of too tough is for those who entertain failure. It is for those who are safe on the shore to contemplate.
Elon: “You dumb”
Also Elon: “I try not to criticize the person”
That was a dick move. End of.
it's nice to see someone reasonable in the comment. everyone else seems like they're all on the spectrum, just supporting each other for their lack of social skills. they somehow think being rude and disrespectful is a good long term strategy in a business setting
@Dave_of_Mordor I don't see you leading a fucking rocket company?? And it's successful?? Like that's impossible bro, and the guy managed it. He's also one of the richest guys in the world and you think that doesn't work in business. What are you smoking because it's working really well
@@average.yt.commenter609 what do you mean it's impossible? NASA has been doing it long before SpaceX was a thing, and they don't treat their workers the way this pos treat his. This is the problem with Elon fandom. They know nothing about the world or the existence of other companies and yet they put that ignorance out into the world. Do you even know how the economy works? Do you understand what made him rich? He is one of the richest men in the world only because fools like you financially support him no matter what false promise and hypocrisy he spew on Twitter

There is a fool in the comment who said leading a rocket company is impossible to spite NASA doing it for decades 😔
That is just sad if we came to this and call ourselves “evolved”.
That’s fair yo. Not like he straight up fired him, he was hard on his employee motivating him to do better. Good boss
It's fair for a boss to threaten to fire someone if they can't answer a question they apparently didn't know he cared about? Would it not have been better to just tell them to have that information ready for future meetings? Why threaten?
Fark the job, Elon would of gotten a smack down immediately, regardless of the personal circumstances.
Slap, punch, or kick so many choices.
Wow you sound so tough.
bullshit, you would have cried. you are not fooling anyone.
And then you went upstairs to ask mommy for a hot pocket 😂
Damn you're so badass bro. I bet you could beat up your entire night shift!
Elon promised we will be landing on Mars THIS year. I'm excited to see how he's going to manage it. Or was that just another scam, like his self driving Teslas, the hyperloop, the solar roof company, his AI joke company, etc. etc. etc. ?
He would need to launch today if he wishes to reach Mars by the end of the year😂
eh.. hes closer to those goals then anyone else. maybe not to to mars this year. i dunno about hyperloop an AI but as far as i know self driving isnt too bad an the solar roofs work just fine. you just talking out your ass just to hate on elon lol
@Nick871203 lol, no he's not. He can't get a rocket out of earth's orbit
He has never met any dates or targets he has spouted in his many press and investor meetings. The end products always end up late and underperforming when finally seen.
Hate to be that guy, but I think there's a bit of a clarification over here, it seems. It was in 2016 that he estimated that humans will go to Mars by 2025 (technically 1 more year left) BUT, considering the most optimal path to date to Mars takes 2 years and maybe you could adjust the parameters and decrease the timeframe, I don't think reaching mars by 2025 is possible. But don't get me wrong, just because it didn't happen within his estimation, doesn't mean it's scam. Do you seriously think that spacex is making bs??? They are doing real work, but it's just due delayed that's it. So Please don't get to conclusions so immediately that it's a scam or its a fraud. After all, we all are humans right? We make mistakes, but it doesn't mean all those mistakes are scam... And do let's wait patiently for the future
(And I'm sorry if I sounded a bit rude, as I told u I'd hate to be this person but idk how else to tell you✌️)
--And then everybody got medals and joined hands singing a song of praise for Elon Musk.
Elon too has lost a child, and knows full well that trauma will kill you if you let it.
He didnt let it.
He directed that energy elsewhere.
If that guys child just died, he shouldn't have been going to meetings.
That's right but sometimes we need empathy ❤
No empathy in private sector. Empathy is for the weak only. Sink or swim, all I have ever done is work for top fortune companies. This is the norm, my guess is you are a teacher or not even in the private sector.
This is the norm….
@@SOPhenix-np6cl That's all right I accept that but the point to say we need empathy sometimes is because you need to sit around someone and ask how it is going. The only purpose to say this is to ensure that we don't become too much self awared that we ignore other people cuz we need eachother. In fact if I was there as Elon musk I would also make sure that you should be prepared the next time cuz that's the quality of a leader that he pushes the limits. The whole point of saying we need empathy is that it's part of humanity and should forget that, obviously if you're making a rocket you should think from the mind not the heart.😉
@@SOPhenix-np6clwhy worry about AI taking over, when we have "people" like you around.
What empathy? Do you actually think that the guy told Elon about his private problems ? I don’t believe that! He should have known to take a few days off and not go to work under those circumstances!
@@andreeaselgaardjensen5086 You are right. I agree 💯 and I also believe in personally what you said. But what I said you haven't understood.
Elon: kills someone

After just coming off a job in the healthcare industry , which had an extremely abusive, sadistic boss, nothing surprises me anymore.
I’ve had a lot of shitty bosses. What separates a stern boss from an asshole is if they make criticism personal.
Elon wasn't raised right.
Oh, but u who's dirt poor was? I think he must have been taught something right bud.
@@JosephProctor-wu1kxi learned respect, he learned corporations
@imnewlight yes cuz I'm sure Elon was never taught respect and is always super disrespectful to everybody.
@imnewlight There's times to hold hands and sing, and there's times to be straightforward and demand what's necessary to get the job done.
@@JosephProctor-wu1kx except elon wasnt being necessary, he was overdemanding
That employee may have develiped resilience and overcome the grief of losing his child, overnight... but more likely he acquiesced to inappripriate and uncompassionate pressure from his employer, and merely appeared to cope better while actually simply surviving.
Elon can be replaced by a robot while Lucas cannot.
Corporate media: there is no evidence that rockets dont care
I've used something called the "FIF" for years. Short for the "Fucking Idiot Factor".
Elon has a very high FIF.
Thankfully, you and your opinions are worthless.
Elon, however, was also guilty for not knowing about his own employees. That’s probably a thing about American employers anyway, not giving a crap about employees.
So you’re expecting him to be a mind reader or know the minutia of 5000 employees lives?
How realistic is that?
@@darrenweaver9513: when you’re having a meeting with your fellow employees about projects, you tend to find out about them before the day, at least that’s the way I used to do it when I was a manager.
@@Kirra-Oz No you don't, you can only do that if you have small team of the same people all the time. He has 7 companies with meetings in all times zones, I would be impressed with him just remembering peoples names.
Adding to this he even has meetings with lower level engineers and managers to make sure things are moving along.
If that means 1 meeting per company per week , and it's only with the board and managers that's still around 70-150 people you need to keep track of, and know everything about in your mind. That is actual impossible to do.
@@Kirra-Oz and how many companies you have managed? 😅
so he came up with another name for the “buy-to-fly” ratio that’s been used for decades? what a genius!
In all fairness, the Financial Analyst wouldn't have been dumb enough to purchase Twitter.
In other words, being an ahole is part and parcel of being a billionaire.
Elon is probably the dumbest billionaire.
He does get shit done anyway.

Work continues, no matter what happens to an employee, even the employees death. That's why the prudent don't put too much of their life into the job
Elon Musk has the critical thinking skills of a small rodent.
And yet he has gone from poor to richest and multiple world changing companies. You should educate yourself before speaking wet shit out of your mouth.
dont insult rodents like that.
people seething at Elon's success is great entertainment.
This is what happens when you go against the cult of L. Ron Musk.
Oh God. Another cultist.
Anyone who is really good will immediately quit when threatened like that. Elon is probably losing his best people due to stupidity.
There's no right or wrong in a fictional conversation.
Yeah, great idea.
Let's push people who are trying to work intellectual jobs as hard as we can so they're stressed out. And let's get people to camp out in the Twitter offices and make them work 12-hour days. That will improve performance and quality.
Yeesh.
There are some people capable of that for considerable periods of time, which is exactly what he wants in other to reduce operating costs as much as possible. Inhuman? Yes. Profitable? Maybe.
12 HOUR DAYS?!? Oh the poor widdle diddums.
so far he has been proven right
@@Kenshiroit he's been proven right about what?
Elon not knowing about the guys lost daughter aside. you guys don't seem to understand the severity of what that means if it were just laziness (in the situation where this it what it looked like at first) a single mistake can put countless lives at risk. those engines and tanks are essentially bombs when something goes wrong. up to square kilometer people can die from the heat the blast or flying debri. 1-5 kilometers past that you still get damage from the shockwave and debri which could still hurt someone. this isnt oops i made a mistake but it will be ok. its oops i made a mistake and now people are dead.
thats why you have checks on everything. Someone is bound to screw up slmetime, but that shouldnt matter as the system should be designed to allow for error discovery and rectifying. A hostile work environment just results in flaws being hidden up.
How many times have you sent an email or submitted homework etc, only to discover an error? It should be as simple as, oops, made a mistake, sorry everyone and move on, and have multiple reviews.
People are more likely to make errors when under stress. He is a bad leader.
@@pluto8404 no not in the slightest. this isnt something you can compare to every day life and isnt the only job that is taken seriously in such a manner. being gotten on to is not considered a hostile work environment. if had told my boss back when i was doing ultrasound on the gas pipelines that i didnt know how my tool worked. they wouldve said wtf are you doing here then. and that would be an appropriate response because countless lives are at risk based off of how we call our shots(scans). did you know that if one of those pipes blew, there is someone going to jail for it. if it was the result of a bad scan not showing something. we would be the ones facing charges because we said it was good. your confusing hostile with expectations.
I started using the idiot index towards my brother-in-law after watching him microwave, a raw lobster, and then get extremely ill and be rushed to the hospital😂
That’s why Elon has 100 kids so when 1 dies it doesn’t hurt as much
No issues here. He is a hard boss, greater leader. The bar is set high. Sink or swim, Corp america baby
u hv mental problems
Another point: he tend to not firing for mistakes in most of cases. But he would fire for lack of progress, lying, etc
There is an issue here. The guy needed a little leeway to mourn his daughter. We don’t need more sociopaths.
@peteconrad2077 u said it brother. This world needs less geniuses and more poor people in RUclips comment sections!

That's what vacation days, sick days, personal days, generally any kind of PTO is for...
Did anyone bother telling Elon this? They are building rockets, after all, very expensive and dangerous. It's pretty important that everyone working on it is on top of things.
No room for mistakes,this is rocket science
Only takes 1 mistake and the rocket goes Boom instead of Zoom!!
By the history of spacex launches, it seems like there is plenty of room for mistakes.
@@devarshihazarika4871 Musk's fan deny that, for them every rocket launch was a successful mission lol
@@devarshihazarika4871 they almost went bankrupt in 2016 for doing too many mistakes. Theres gonna be artemis and also the japanese billionaire moon flyby. Spacex may be living casually now and can afford to be reckless, but soon they wont have that comfort anymore. Piss off the talent away or squander millions just to get data of exploded rockets and it all piles up into a bigger toxic mess just waiting to explode.
@@devarshihazarika4871
Physics is uncompromising. It doesn't mean folks don't make mistakes. It DOES mean that everyone at SpaceX must bring 110% commitment to their job every day to prevent avoidable mistakes that can happen. Two Nasa Space Shuttles blew up specifically because Nasa had a casual attitude toward things that made them look bad. Brave men/women lost their lives in those accidents.. ALL BECAUSE OF PRIDE. THAT is what Elon is trying to prevent!!
He didn't knew what the "idiot parts" were but for sure he knew who the idiots is
Harsh? Maybe. But he isnt wrong. He's just got thay Mamba Mentality. He strives for excellence and expects nothing less of others.
Could he have been better with his delivery? Perhaps. But you can guarantee that that analyst was never unprepared again. It only takes one good ass whooping to learn the lesson, and he definitely learned it. 😅
"What's important is that you get the rocket right"
