    I usually check my emails while on my autopilot commute to work

    Also, with a 90-minute commute each way, in 2023, he apparently started sleeping in his car, showering at the factory and microwaving his dinners on days that he was working.

    This guy sounds like a fucking idiot.

      When self-driving cars finally become a reality (working reliably on any condition without constant supervision), I suspect many people would skip buying house and buy these cars instead because it’ll be so much cheaper. After work, you hop into your car and take a nap, then wake up in a diner’s parking lot. Go back to the car again after eating to sleep, and wake up in the morning already in your office’s parking lot. Basically homeless but never need to worry about cop because the car constantly moves while you’re sleeping, making circuit around the city until it finally take you back to your office’s parking lot.

    Anyone not seeing the writing on the wall, or in some cases in large print on front pages of papers, in relation to this dude deserves to be fired.

      Surely you’ll be a billionaire too some day, if you only play doormat to the owner class hard enough.

    What? The guy who fired people who slept in their offices at Twitter fired more people who were sacrificing their personal lives for one of his companies?

    Ya don’t say.

      I hear masochistic genocidal overlord is much nicer once you get to know him. You just have to look past all the masochism and genocide, to see the fluffy teddy bear inside.

    Why bother living.

    I guess maybe if the extreme overwork overtime is a means to an end by getting money, retire early, get experience to find a more reasonable job… I guess maybe some can justify it. Maybe. There’s probably some who feel forced due to desperate circumstances.

    Idk. I hate this overworked overtime culture.

      Yeah I just was forced to quit after putting in 10 hours a day for 5+ years at a company. It caused health problems and is definitely not worth it. Put the extra time into YOUR OWN projects instead of someone else’s.

        Agreed. And remember that a good personal project does not necessarily have to be for profit.
