Elon Musk

Yeah, so generally what I tell people, I tell myself, I guess aspirationally, is don't look at the resume, just believe your interaction.

So the resume may seem very impressive and it's like, wow, resume looks good.

But if the conversation after 20 minutes, that conversation is not wow, you should believe the conversation, not the paper.

Well, so the – I mean, the Tesla is sort of senior team.

At this point, it's probably got average tenure of 10 or 12 years.

It's quite long.

Yeah, it's quite tenured.

Yeah.

So, but –

There were times when Tailson went through an extremely rapid growth phase.

And so things were just somewhat sped up.

And when a company, as you know, a company goes through different orders of magnitude of size, people who could help manage, say, a 50-person company versus a 500-person company versus a 5,000-person company versus a 50,000-person company.

Yeah, it's just not the same team.

It's not always the same team.

So if a company is growing very rapidly, the rate at which executive positions will change will also be proportionate to the rapidity of the growth generally.

Then Tesla had a further challenge where when Tesla had very successful periods, we would be relentlessly recruited from, like relentlessly.

Like when Apple had their electric car program, they were carpet bombing Tesla with recruiting calls.

Engineers just unplugged their phones.

I'm trying to get work done here.

Yeah.
