Mixed reaction on x
The post has sparked criticism from some users. One person wrote: “I’ve been saying it for a while, but Tesla’s talent for Exodus is real. It doesn’t bother me to point out that. If $tsla people want long-term success at Tesla, they need top talent, which is a problem that needs to be solved.”
Others defended Musk, and one user replied: “Fred. You obviously don’t know how Tesla works. Elon is an incredibly talented magnet. For every brilliant talented person he works for, 25 more people will sell an arm and a leg to own the job. This is Elon’s real secret magnet for Elon’s real secret power.”
Some users on X responded easily to the “no food” rule. One wrote: “Evil way, you have to lose weight.” Another joked: “If that’s the case, it seems they shouldn’t bring it, but are ready to share.”
