Tesla's SEC filings claim they have $37 billion in liquid assets. There's no excuse for under resourcing autonomy development at Tesla. Not much to do about that now. They had to have gotten serious about it three years ago or longer.
Elon can only blame himself. He believes he can will anything into existence. Some investors seem to share that belief. I'd say they're going to learn differently, but this is not the first failure of this type. Elon blurted out a goal without a plan in place.
The standard 80 hour weeks at Musk's companies are incompatible with human life. It's very, very disappointing to see Musk publicly complain about falling birth rates but fail to recognize the connection between overtaxed employees and poor fertility.
Edit: He said he's resigning because he's had to spend too much time away from family, implying that the work-life balance at Tesla has been very bad.
I work the longest hours of anyone I know (friends implore me to stop). I'm one of the first cars in the garage, one of the last ones out. Start at 8, home at 8, 15 minute lunch, 2 hours at night with overseas team. A few hours cram-work Sunday night. 3-5 hours of sleep M-F (5.5 hours is a rare luxury). These numbers are accurate and consistent every week for last 12 months.
It's still not 80 hours a week.
So I get a bit miffed when people cry "Wah, we all work 80-hour weeks!" No, I don't think so.
Hey, Musk, you’re probably going to read this thread. Have you considered leaving a positive legacy behind yourself? Do something like Ford and redefine the working time to the benefit of people?
