"It's a 24/7 campaign-style work ethos. Not everyone is cut out for that."

It’s not a matter of being "cut out" for a 24/7 campaign-style work ethos. It’s a matter of persisting in that kind of self-effacing behavior. If you’re always in campaign mode, you never get to live your own life - just someone else’s. You only get one life, and this is not a good way to spend it.

    It's not a job, it's about manifesting a cult of personality and attracting talent based around said cult. If you have outside obligations, a desire for work life balance, or a life outside of work, you're going to wash out and get replaced with someone "mission driven."

The high stock price can also be a factor. If Tesla claims that its valuation is high because of AI/robotics, and you work in those divisions and don't see approaching success; now is the time to take your money and leave. When the stock price stops rising, work conditions will get worse, not better.
