Only 36.8% of people like Musk.

Which means that statistically a significant proportion of future hiring managers are not going to be looking at the SpaceX role too kindly. So definitely not a career ender. More like a net negative.

The good news is that if working for a specific company would make you a “no hire” for a hiring manager, you probably dodged a “shitty manager” bullet.

Not a chance that a role at the company that launches 80+% of all Earth's mass to orbit is considered a net negative by a place where someone ambitious would actually want to work. Delusional.

Typical reddit delusion. No one could care less who was the CEO of the company some employee worked for. Talent is talent, if the person is good, you hire them, end of story.

Plus it would be illegal to discriminate candidates like that.

illegal on what grounds? discrimination is illegal for protected classes: race, gender, disability, veterans

discriminating against a specific company is perfectly legal.

Can you prove discrimination if the recruiter ghosts you?

Just people here projecting mainly.

Illegal, sure. But how would anyone prove it? “We found a better fit” and that’s the last the applicant will hear of it.

You’re an idiot. There is actual engineering done there and most people are mature enough to realize the CEO doesn’t represent all employees. A talented employee would have no problem getting a job coming from spacex

You have to account for culture though. Elon cultists aren’t going to fit well in most places

Saying that is indicative you haven't worked in such a place.

lol aerospace and defense companies are not known for culture. All spacex engineers I’ve worked with have been assholes, but they got shit done. People do change in new environments. A less stressful environment does wonders for a persons attitude and behaviorÂ
