For those missing the reference in the s08e02 Simpsons episode 'You Only Move Twice' with Hank Scorpio, a Bond villain type character that Elon has been compared to a few times, Homer while working for Scorpio has hammocks installed to increase productivity at the department he runs.
The two main twists in the episode, apart from the literal Bond villain events in the background Scorpio is part of and that Homer stumbles into a few times including catching and stopping the Bond stand in, is firstly that Homer is actually good at his [pointless] job rather than when working at the nuclear power plant for Mr Burns, and secondly every other member of the family is miserable; Marge has nothing to do so turns to day drinking wine, Bart is put into the special Ed class where he's unable to do anything, Lisa is allergic to everything in the new town, and Maggie might be in the episode but tbh nothing stands out as with the others.
I don't hate the idea, but I don't understand why regular employees would want to do that. If you're in a startup with some equity, everyone's going to be super motivated to see it get off the ground and potentially become rich. If you're the boss, obviously that's your baby and you have to sink or swim. But otherwise I don't know what the workers are getting out of it. When they've succeeded Elon can take credit and go take a break in the Caicos or whatever he likes to do for fun but the guys who were sleeping in the office to make the government more efficient just go back to their day jobs?
Optimally, they would go back to their day jobs after purging the government so they could go back to being productive.
