Elon's "extremely hardcore" toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.

"Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company's launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.

"Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company's facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work."

@ajsadauskas @technology this kind of shit is all the fault of the pyramids, megalomaniacs like musk know no if they throw enough pain agony and bodies at his projects that history would eventually forget the damage and pain he caused and only remembering for the good or alleged good he has done, it's about an everlasting legacy with these lunatics.

I wonder if it is/was fundamentally different that the experience of working for, like, Steve Jobs or something?

Steve Jobs was a tyrant, and awful to his employees. Maybe in a different way, but he was not fun to work for.

Makes me wonder if this whole "reality distortion field" isn't just, good ol' fucking economic pressure. Fuck
