Elon’s “extremely hardcore” toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.

"Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company’s launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.

“Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company’s facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work.”

      Yesterday evening I took a peek into improving my financial standing and understood very little of the whole convoluted mess called finance and the terms it uses.
      I could totally understand why you’d need to take that stuff to even keep the whole picture together in your mind.

        While I am not one of those people, some of the jobs in finance is basically high level mathematics and statistics.
