    Nah tech internships always pay. Six figures isn't unheard of though it's not usually quite that much.

      Fair enough and that makes sense having read the other comments about him being a known dev. Most tech firms I've ever done business with pay their interns (decently often) but I didn't have any faith that'd be the case with Musk's new hardcore sleep under your desk dumpster fire Twitter. Appreciate the correction though.

      A lot of tech internships don't pay at all. It's a way to keep undesirables out of the pipeline. If you can't afford to be without income for 6-12 months (i.e. you don't have family money) then you don't belong in the dude bros club.

      damn if some of these tech companies wanted to save money, they'd accept remote workers from the midwest where starting salaries are nearly half of what isn't unheard of for an intern in SF
