SpaceX is hiring world-class engineers and physicists for its SpaceXAI team and states that no prior artificial intelligence experience is required

Marc Andreessen (@pmarca) on what it’s like to work at SpaceX:

“It’s like being dropped into a zone of shocking competence.”

“Everybody is ultra competent, and the reason everybody’s ultra competent is because if they’re not, Elon sniffs it out and fires them. He knows, ‘cause he’s talking to the people actually doing the work.”

“The best engineers in the world want to work for him, ‘cause he’s the one CEO like this who’s able to work with them as a peer on whatever the technology is.”

“What would be better as an engineer than being able to design a rocket engine with Elon Musk as your engineering partner?”

@elonmusk This is what Elon considers when hiring.

I will be reviewing all emails that pass reasonable sanity checks personally

If you’ve made a very complex thing do useful work, that’s a major plus

See how the Richest man in the world is recruiting, but Nigerian companies would want you to have 10 years of experience using 25 tools.

"Smart humans figure it out fast," that's fucking genius @elonmusk I wish other companies would emulate this and know that learning on the job is a normal thing.

@elonmusk Sir, may I?

Great time to jump on the rocket ship 🚀 SpaceXAI is building the AI that will advance scientific discovery and extend the light of consciousness to the stars.

First-principles thinkers who’ve solved hard engineering challenges (from hardware to gaming and beyond) and shipped useful, loved products — this is for you.

@elonmusk Remember that time you agreed Americans are "too retarded to train" and that the H1-Bs you hired weren't cheaper than American labor and then it turned out the H1-Bs you hired were cheaper and you were one of the worst culprits in selling out American jobs?

I would’ve jumped at an opportunity like this when I was younger. What an opportunity to be part of what will no doubt be one of the major drives of human achievement

At 67 should I go for it anyway? I am a true polymath.

Here’s my background:

• Pioneered 3D computer-aided drug design — featured on the cover of Science & helped create the Genesis Effect in Star Trek: Wrath of Khan • Built an Epic solution that recovered $800K/year in missed hospital revenue • NASA Mission Specialist finalist & Top Knife graduate (fighter surgeon) • Family Feud Grand Champion

Thinking of applying… what do you think?

@greg16676935420 @elonmusk thats way more than 3 bullet points Greg.

*difficulty following directions*

@elonmusk Tech companies spent years demanding “5+ years AI experience” for entry-level jobs… now SpaceX is basically admitting raw intelligence matters more than fancy résumés. Most hiring systems are broken — they filter out geniuses before they even get a chance.

@elonmusk The best sanity check is to ask applicants what a woman is or if men can get pregnant and you will instantly root out the crazy ones 🤪

@elonmusk Me after asking ChatGPT to explain Python for the 47th time:🚀 WELCOME TO SPACEXAI 🚀

Zero experience needed

People without a credential work cheaper.

But in an AI world a different thinker has more value than most who have been “educated.”

I met a cofounder of @neuralink who told me they hired mostly “non traditional” talent who thought differently about problems.

@elonmusk RESUME —————————————————

• I am an avid Groker • I am an avid 𝕏 user • I bet on all Elon Musk companies 🔥

@elonmusk Elon: “I will be reviewing all emails that pass reasonable sanity checks personally

Also Elon after reading thousands of emails:

@elonmusk "Smart humans figure it out fast."

Bingo! the guy get's it.

@elonmusk Any change to open positions for psychologists, history teachers and sociologists?
