イーロン・マスクが天才かは議論はわかれるが、ハッカーではあるし、日本の企業家よりはるかに技術力は優れているだろう 0797名刺は切らしておりまして2018/05/02(水) 04:47:50.84ID:BMgID8Tm “Musk never seemed to leave the office. He slept, not unlike a dog, on a beanbag next to his desk. “Almost every day, I’d come in at seven thirty or eight A.M., and he’d be asleep right there on that bag,” Heilman said. “Maybe he showered on the weekends. I don’t know.” Musk asked those first employees of Zip2 to give him a kick when they arrived, and he’d wake up and get back to work. While Musk did his possessed coder thing, Kimbal became the rah-rah sales leader.”
-Jeff Heilman
In an interview, Musk has stated that the Zip2 website would be up during the day, and he he would be coding at night, seven days a week, all the time. And they were so hard up, that they had only one computer, with only Musk working on it. They had no furniture, and not even a bed to sleep on. And all of them had to go to the YMCA to shower up. 0798名刺は切らしておりまして2018/05/02(水) 04:50:30.16ID:BMgID8Tm>>796
SpaceX crisis In June 2002, Musk founded SpaceX, with an objective to lower space transportation costs and make Mars colonisation a reality. Musk invested a lot of money which he got from the sale of PayPal into SpaceX. The company’s first three launches failed which sparked scepticism in many investors. They only had enough money for one more launch; they were almost at the verge of bankruptcy. It was a very stressful time for Musk. The fourth launch was a huge success, and as a consequence SpaceX received a contract from NASA for $1.6 billion. SpaceX was sending rockets to space at one third the cost of any other agencies in the business. Musk had gone all out for the SpaceX launch which, fortunately for him, turned out to be a success.
Tesla crisis Musk founded Tesla Motors in 2003, a company aimed to produce cost-efficient electric cars. The company’s first electric car was Roadster, a high performance vehicle but not very cost-efficient. The launch was delayed and the company also faced severe financial issues, coming very close to shutting down. By his own admission, 2008 was the worst year of his life. The car was costing almost double the predicted price, thereby making the funds insufficient. Musk had to make an important decision then: Either put all his life’s savings into the company or see his company fade away. The latter wasn’t an option for him, so he put everything in. The gamble turned out to be lucky for this parallel-entrepreneur as the car received great reviews for its performance.
If Tesla agrees to unionize its workforce, would it subject its Fremont vehicle assembly plant to the same dismal fate of closure as the NUMMI plant and the earlier GM assembly plant? Already Tesla has chosen to build its battery plant near Reno, Nev., and not the Bay Area. It could also choose to build its vehicles in another place. Or it could avoid UAW interference altogether with advances in robotics and automation.
History and common sense suggests that UAW representation at the Tesla plant would end poorly for the workers. Eight years after the second closure, are workers and the public ready for a third?
Larry J • an hour ago 100 years ago the unions provided a valuable service helping ensure workers had safe working conditions and fair labor practices.
Today that's all taken care of by OSHA, NLRB and a host of other local and federal government agencies..
So the archaic unions were left with forcing manufacturers to pay exorbitant salaries and benefits, which forced companies to move those jobs overseas or to states where they could open non-union factories.
Steve Gonzales • 4 hours ago Tesla probably will replace most workers with machine within the next 5 years. Unless UAW can get the engineers to unionize, UAW is irrelevant.
