Where do you people work???  I've seen too many posts like this lately, and it sounds like the employees, or management, or culture, or perhaps all, is completely poisonous.  When a company exhibits or even tolerates this kind of behavior I quit as soon as possible.  Even if it's just one isolated co-worker, if management is so oblivious that they can't see the problem then I figure that the company is going downhill and I just don't want to be a part of it.

You do know who OP is right?

You work for Elon Musk, and a completely crazy new big project comes up.  Which, by the sound of it, sounds totally impossible/implausible and impractical.  It is probably best to steer clear of that new project, if you can.  E.g. A new Hyper-space time machine, made out of hot-air and hyper-nuts juice.

The guy who started Tesla and made electric vehicles go high end and mainstream?  Or the guy who introduced Artificial Intelligence to self-driving cars?  Or the guy who started SpaceX and has a pretty good track record compared to his competitors (there are at least 10 with little recognition).  PayPal is involved here somehow...

I would jump on any project he comes up with.  Win, lose or draw, it would be a hell of a ride.

If you want to become an overworked engineer slave, then yes. BTW: Mr Musk started none of those companies AFAIK. He is just clever with money and creating hype.

I am still waiting for my ticket to go to the Moon since 2018. When I get it I might consider working for him. Until then he is full if sh!t.

Unfortunately, no, we cannot - unless I grossly misunderstood the whole thing (always a possibility) - the universe, in a way, does and that was the spooky part Einstein did non like.
There is no way we can use the entanglement to transmit information of our choice, we can only measure that entangled particles are, in fact, entangled (they have one single state for the couple, not one each).

E.g.: we cannot force the spin of one particle to be up when we measure it, so forcing the distant one to be measured as down, effectively transmitting our piece of information faster than light.

Another treez/Faringdon post where I think the OP may be projecting a bit hard.
