Yes, I didn't mean to imply Tesla was a great place to work or that their wages are attractive. I imagine he will have all sorts of problem in Germany, where he has been able to just push through in the US or China.
I've heard much the same things, very chaotic and they burn people out. But people are motivated by the mission. While I think Elon has strengths in many areas, he is also very flawed. Not sure I would want him as a boss. He seems to need to learn things the hard way.
Ideally you would extract the positives and remove the negatives.
