I've read claims that they are desperately trying to hire.

Anecdata but both of the people I know that worked on Autopilot quit within 18 months of starting, citing extreme overwork and Musk micromanaging things. This lines up with that.

  • People have been claiming the same thing about SpaceX and Tesla for 20+ years now doesn't seem to stop them. Having a small sample size theater about people you personally know isn't really representative.

Maybe it’s an unfortunate side effect of their success. Almost all early members of the team are now multi millionaires if they held their stock.
