Elon Musk Takes to Twitter to Recruit Engineers
Continuing to show off his unorthodox style of running a company, Tesla CEO Elon Musk put out a call on Twitter for engineers to help the company develop its self-driving technology.
Tesla has committed to having a semi-autonomous vehicle that can handle 90 percent of driving duties within three years, and the company needs new engineers to help them achieve this goal.
“Intense effort underway at Tesla to develop a practical autopilot system for Model S,” tweeted Elon Musk. “Engineers interested in working on autonomous driving, pls email autopilot@teslamotors.com.” He finished by adding that the “team will report directly to me.”
