Anecdotal, but I've gotten three recruiting emails from them now for joining their iOS team. I got on a call and confirmed they were offering FAANG++ comp but with the expectation of in-office 50h+ (realistically more).
I don't have that dog in me anymore, but there are plenty of engineers who do and will happily work those hours for 500k USD.
So in the end did he get anything? I dont know how these things work but did he just walk away with ~50k in pre tax income and 0 for RSU or did Musk pull a Twitter and not even pay him for those months?
