the one that stood out the most was that they were terrified of the company all-hands meetings because Musk would fire people seemingly at random.. one guy said you didn't dare look him in the eye because if he ever noticed you and didn't like how you looked then you'd escorted out of the building and get your shit mailed to you.
another said it was nothing but one-uppmanship throughout the entire company but people grinded through it as long as possible because of the stock options.. or the "golden cuffs" so they said.. and one guy was extremely upset about that because he made it right to the week of his vesting period and got laid off, so he got nothing after all the torture he went through
chiming in here, one guy got absolutely torn apart for a perfectly adequate solution that elon didn't like the looks of. literally, did not enjoy the visual aesthetics of an engineering solution. huge fucking tantrum, entire team + other seniors present, dude quit a while later. many such stories. most people just put up with it, were a few legends who walked out on him. was more unstable when he was younger. gave all his engineers ptsd and daddy issues...
yeah.. also stories about how you never dared say "no" to elong or dare tell him what he was asking for was stupid or impossible.. you might as well just pack up and leave on your own if you so much as thought about it.
So he ended up with nothing but yes-men in all upper mgmt positions who would just fire people to make daddy happy whenever something wasn't going according to his ridiculous plans which was practically all the time
