I assume this is fake since no one at X is getting a Christmas bonus.
it was edited from “salary” to “christmas bonus”
“You wasted trillions of cycles, then ask me for Money?!?” - Elon, probably
Fake for any of those wondering.
But keeping employees based on how many lines of code they have written, which he did, is essentially the same logic.
Ernest Hemingway was paid by the word, which shows in his work. I imagine this pay structure would have a similar effect on how people code.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that saying was for Dickens? Wasn’t Hemingway famously terse?
I thought it was about Steven King, but it might just be all the cocaine he did.
My ass would just write functions that take a huge amount of parameters and assign one in each line
Oh the amount of redundant code I would write
cat /dev/urandom | grep “dickhead”
%0|%0
I’m glad to hear this is fake but it seemed 100% believable to me
The part where it said “Christmas Bonus” should have been the tip off…
That’s the joke.
Elon is so random and unpredictable that you can make up just about anything about him and nobody will really know if it’s satire or not…
Time to play modded minecraft during company time
Sweet all that time playing TF2 will finally pay off!
So the Janitor gets nothing and the guy slacking off playing Deathloop gets a fortune.

Run prime95 in the background of all of your work. Even when you go home, leave it running… 24/7 100% CPU usage.
Have those PCs do something useful and run folding@home, that way this company would actually benefit humanity for once

Better yet, mine monero on as many machines as possible for extra profit

Or mine some crypto! CPU mining hasn’t been profitable since like 2010 but it could work in this scenario.
gentoo users stay winning
So those who misuse company assets to enrich themselves b mining crypto get rewarded by larger bonuses? Sounds like the way the world works for those super rich fellas like Elon “Edgelord” Musk.
He should base it off RAM too. I mean, when you work, you must have millions of tabs open.
Cool, I will be able to solve those advent of code challenges without optimising my code!
My dad who clicks every pop up he sees is slated to make some serious bank.
