He was impressed by Elon Musk's vision but he would yell and once called Cantrell to work at 03:00.www.BusinessInsider.co.zaThis as-told-to essay is based on a transcribed conversation with Jim Cantrell about his time working with Elon Musk as one of the founding employees at SpaceX. It's been edited for length and clarity.
Elon wanted to buy Russian rockets because they were cheaper than US rockets and had been told I was the guy to ask because I'd worked with the Russians.Elon was in his late 20s, poorly dressed, and quite awkward. He was very bright and very determined, but even people in the US thought he was just a rich kid who wanted to dabble in space.
I planned to see where it took me for a year or so. I was SpaceX's vice president of business development from December 2001 until I left in September 2002. Elon and I conflicted too much. He yelled at me a couple of times, and I would have had to change who I was to keep working there. The bad Elon would yell at you, and he would be frustrated. Nobody was good enough for him; nothing was good enough for him.
Another feature of working with Elon was that he always had a vision. With SpaceX it was to have people on Mars. He expected you to be 100% aligned with that objective. It was always clear in his mind, but he didn't always make it clear to his employees. There was a lot of guesswork. I learned a lot, but I felt disrespected. I didn't need to be paid to be shouted at, so I walked away.
In what world do we still accept this slave mentality? “he will do it in a vicious way, which is his right as owner”…
