She is not the only one. The former engineer who was fired by Musk as part of a crackdown on those who escaped his initial layoffs but were outspoken in their criticism of him said the end could be minutes or weeks.

He says the problems that will break things badly are the unexpected ones. Big problems at this scale are never what one could ever expect and there is a good amount of resilience built into the infrastructure.

The former engineer is not surprised by the number of people who say they have had enough. He says it was an easy choice because of how he has treated people. He believes that those who remain are likely to be required to remain in employment for their H1-B immigration visa or private insurance. The talent in the company has been routed. Many more engineers will need to be hired according to Ingle.

The MIT Technology Review has previously reported on a person who thinks the company's systems will degrade over time. In the last 24 hours, many employees who maintain the critical infrastructure have resigned. It would be harder for staff to fix infrastructure issues before the office reopens on November 21 because they are now closed.

Musk did not reply. The communications team has been slashed in recent weeks.

Changes will need to be made. Some of Musk's more drastic measures are being reconsidered. Musk said in an all-staff email on November 9 that remote work was not allowed unless there was an exception.
