Whatever SpaceX did with their transmitters, it's working well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silavite Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) 7 hours ago, Pthigrivi said: So, what do we think about all this? https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/policy/technology/3527536-spacex-fires-employees-who-blasted-musk-in-letter-report/amp/ Using a company wide email to distribute something like this without approval definitely sounds like a bad idea. I don't know if that alone is justification to fire these employees, but they definitely screwed up. I think that the main tension here is the fact that there is not a bright line between Elon's personal statements and SpaceX's official statements. Elon's Tweets are often official statements on SpaceX's doings. Sometimes this is really cool (such as when we get to see glimpses of technical details or decisions through his Tweets), but other times this doesn't work out so well. If any other employee said some of the things Elon regularly posts on his Twitter through an official channel, then they would be fired on the spot. In my opinion, reserving the SpaceX Twitter for official statements while letting Elon do whatever he wants (but making it explicitly clear that none of the Tweets from his account are official company statements) would be the best solution. Let Elon be Elon (even if plenty of folks may disagree with him), but let SpaceX be SpaceX. That's my $0.02, at any rate.

(I should add, however, I don't know if SpaceX claims to have an open culture or not.) Although it certainly does show that SpaceX moves quickly. If I read that right, they posted the letter on Wednesday and were fired by Friday. Edited June 17, 2022 by mikegarrison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pthigrivi Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) I'll try very carefully to thread this needle. Im definitely sensitive that this is a cool weekend for launches and I have no intention of getting the thread locked. 3 hours ago, Silavite said: In my opinion, reserving the SpaceX Twitter for official statements while letting Elon do whatever he wants (but making it explicitly clear that none of the Tweets from his account are official company statements) would be the best solution.

I think that would be best both for SpaceX and for Elon. 3 hours ago, Silavite said: Using a company wide email to distribute something like this without approval definitely sounds like a bad idea.

They had to expect getting fired was a possible or probable consequence. There are times in life when you've got to decide between what the bosses want, or what you'll get rewarded or punished for, and what you feel is morally right. We all make our choices.

Imagine if after every news update on Apollo, it ended in “this is the only way to beat the Soviets to the Moon” More like contemporary Apollo coverage mentioning landing men on the Moon, since that was the goal (regardless of the underlying geopolitical rationale). That's the entire purpose of SpaceX, making life/humanity/consciousness multiplanetary. To the extent Musk mentions business WRT space, he always talks about reducing the cost to space by orders of magnitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
