>Inside the Nevada team’s office, some employees celebrated canceling service appointments by putting their phones on mute and striking a metal xylophone, triggering applause from coworkers who sometimes stood on desks.

It’s weird how this sentence was probably supposed to surprise the reader, but I really just reflected on how the fans conduct themselves regularly and thought “yup, sounds about on par”.




This is standard Weird Sales Culture stuff, but it's a bit odd for customer support.


It's customer success except Elon is the customer


I see HN is still enjoying its two-minutes-hate now that Musk is officially Bad™.


Just like a scene out of The Wolf of Wall Street. This company appears to be fraudulent to the very core.


I’ve thought that ever since they got caught rolling an EV down a hill for a promo video, after taking tons of money from a major automaker.

Wait? That wasn’t Tesla? Okay, I guess there’s a level below “fraudulent to the very core”




> I really just reflected on how the fans conduct themselves regularly

Reminds me of that youtube video (by a fan) almost having an accident on autopilot and his first reaction was "we're gonna have to cut that out".


Well, to be fair to him, he didn't.


Why a xylophone and not a bell? Seems like an odd choice for an instrument other than it's name also starts with an x...


Elon's new rules are tough but fair. Only xylophones are allowed in the office, and the company cafeteria serves only xylitol and xanthan gum.
