No comment on Tesla but the divergence between big companies and startups on the WFH issue is the first new tangible benefit to working at a startup over a bigco in a while. They never reformed the ridiculous tax treatment of ISOs and AMT. The bull market made RSUs and 500k yearly pay realistic at bigcos even for middling employees.
But bigcos don’t trust their own employees and have to justify their massive capital investments in office space. So there is a real, tangible benefit to startup life over cushy bigco.
