Scifiction books. Good books by the way.

But there is another reading to those job postings: experts don't want to work for Musk. I mean, why would they?

I mean, in HR, when a company has trouble finding talent, is a bad sign. People are walking away from Twitter (both workers and users). Tesla is struggling (the automated factories are losing money). Those are signs that there are many people that doesn't trust Musk.

In many ways Musk is like crypto. Some people think that he would make them a lot of money in short time. They don't consider what would happen in medium/long term. But if we take a look at the pattern, it would be another bubble. So speculative investment.

But "brain chips" would eventually happen for the same reason than domotics. It might seem as something intrusive, that offers little value for a very high price. But there is always someone who would trade-off money and privacy in exchange for making things easier. The people who carry their phone everywhere, would love to have a chip that can't be stolen, with instant access to the internet, etc. They won't think about the security risk for their own brain.

So you should see that the adds require "no experience" as a "good sign" because it means that people with experience refuse to work for him. I mean, at tesla they still ask for experience ;)
