A former Tesla employee weighs in on Elon Musk's slam that Apple hires only its worst engineers

A former Tesla employee weighs in on Elon Musk's slam that Apple hires only its worst engineers,The animosity amid Tesla Motors and Apple accomplished a new akin this anniversary afterwards Tesla CEO Elon Musk ridiculed Apple for hiring all the engineers that his aggregation fired.

Now a above Tesla agent is abutting the fray, arguing that Musk and Tesla are on a blue-blooded mission rather than artlessly alms workers a "sexy company."

Victoria Ernestine, who purports to accept formed abounding time for Tesla during college, took to Quora to accommodate added ambience for Musk's comment, acquainted that her comments were advised to be beneath of a "hate message" arise Apple as they ability appear.

The comments chase Musk's anti-Apple battery beforehand this week.

"We consistently jokingly alarm Apple the 'Tesla Graveyard,'" Musk told German bi-weekly Handelsblatt. "If you don't accomplish it at Tesla, you go plan at Apple. I'm not kidding." Apple is reportedly alive on an electric car, which could present a big blackmail to Tesla.

Ernestine addendum that while she formed at Tesla, an Apple recruiter approached her about a "much added advantageous position" with a bigger title. Ernestine says that the acumen why she beneath the position had to do with Tesla's mission statement.

The aggregation vows to "accelerate the appearance of acceptable transport," and she writes that advisers feel absolutely loyal and committed to that proclamation. Alive for Musk at Tesla is awfully boxy — advisers are accepted to appearance acute hustle while putting in crazy hours — but humans accompany anyway, because of the admirable mission statement.

She believes that if Musk calls Apple "Tesla's Graveyard" it's because he believes that anyone would leave because of bigger pay agency they shouldn't accept been allotment of the aggregation to activate with.

By comparison, Apple's mission account is a bit beneath inspiring:

Apple’s 100,000 advisers are committed to authoritative the best articles on earth, and to abrogation the apple bigger than we begin it.

Here's the key allotment of Ernestine's acknowledgment (emphasis ours):

The acumen is, humans who plan for Tesla are absorbed with, not the car or the "I plan for a adult company" status, but with the acceptation it carries. Tesla's mission statement, "accelerate the alteration of acceptable transportation" isn't taken agilely if it comes to the committed advisers Tesla hires.

So what (I believe) Elon agency is, "we assassin you because you accept in our mission and are accessible to address your time and activity to architecture a bigger approaching with us"—loyalty and charge is the key basal bulletin here.

So if a able-bodied accustomed agent decides to breach the affiance to accompany addition tech company, such as Apple, with the affiance of bigger pay and chargeless time, Elon suggests that you are at accountability and should not accept been allotment of the aggregation in the aboriginal place.

It is a accepted actuality that Tesla advisers plan continued hours, and don't get paid as able-bodied as added tech companies, but they aren't taken advantage of because they KNOW actual able-bodied what they are in for afore signing the dotted lines. And humans assume to forget, Tesla is still in a banking struggle. It cannot be compared to Apple or Google, and yet it is because of its exponential advance in appeal and popularity.

The bulletin Elon brings beyond so bluntly isn't a abhorrence bulletin arise Apple. Remember Tesla's accepted business action screams Apple all over. If annihilation Tesla looks up to Apple, and by Tesla, I beggarly Elon and the blow of the controlling team.

You can apprehend her absolute Quora column here.

(Business Insider wasn't able to acquisition a LinkedIn contour or acquaintance Victoria Ernestine to affirm she formed at Tesla, admitting she has accounting several added posts about the aggregation and its products).
