why would anyone want to work there, who is not already? Excited about 120 hour weeks in the office?

They'll work for the privilege of a pat on the back from the world's preeminent dipshit man-child "genius". Right???!!

You're going to get a lot of college grads who don't know jack shit about anything (both in the technical and life experience sense), who are going to be super excited to join the company. They're going to get showered with the "You're a 10x engineer, you're a ninja coder!" bullshit from management, all while working way overtime for no extra money or benefits. They're going to tell themselves they love it for awhile, until they figure out nobody in the industry works like that except for them and they're being tricked. Then they'll move on.

Oh absolutely. You see managers do this to all the twenty-somethings who have big egos, hinting that they're somehow better than the engineers who have been doing this for a decade or two or three. They're the ones sitting in the office in the dark at 7PM when the rest of us are at home with our families.

It usually sets in that this is bullshit when they get laid off for the first time.

They might figure out the reason why their boss is one of the richest men on the planet and they just get an employee wage.

The tech bros who want the prestige of working with Musk and dont get that its an albatross now depending on the years you worked there will.

Those who have visas will be forced to.

Those who did not overextend themselves and are happy taking a lower 6 fig tech job like I have, which may not be prestigious but still pays the bills would steer FAR clear of them.

Its definitely not 'prestigious' to work for twitter now. If I saw a 'begin' date post Musk acquisition, I'd question the candidate's integrity and decision making skills immediately.
