The article states that T-Online, a German news outlet, polled 100,000 readers, with 94% rejecting Tesla and only 3% considering a purchase. While the sample size is unusually large for a survey, the methodology isn’t detailed in the article. Online reader polls, like those often conducted by news sites, are typically self-selecting—participants choose to respond rather than being randomly sampled. This introduces significant bias, as those motivated to participate may already hold strong opinions, especially given Musk’s polarizing public image. Without information on how the survey was conducted (e.g., random sampling, controls for bias), its scientific validity is questionable.

It's great if you're ok with:

* Taking all the blame when your team fails

* Getting no reward when your team succeeds

* Never being thanked or appreciated by your direct reports or manager

* Being in pointless meeting with people who've never built anything

* Smiling and nodding politely when being told what to do by people with no skin in the game.

* Having your decade of engineering experience being ignored because you didn't write that line of code

* Getting dressed down when you did write that piece of code instead of delegating it.

Other than that it is quite fulfilling.

Cookies are often used to identify devices. Syncing them across devices would defeat that purpose.
