Tesla Is Hiring Someone To Defend Elon Musk And Fend Off Attacks By Twitter Trolls
A job advert posted by Tesla, Musk’s booming electric car maker, said the company is hiring for a customer support specialist whose responsibilities include handling online complaints directed at the chief executive.
“Tesla Energy Support Specialists handle a variety of customer issues while delivering on world class customer service,” the original job listing read.
“The role of a specialist is to resolve or escalate complaints through appropriate channels and address social media escalations directed at the CEO with critical thinking.”
The advert has since been updated to remove the references to “social media escalations” after the company was widely mocked online.
Musk, who this month overtook Jeff Bezos to become the world’s richest person, is an ardent Twitter user, sharing regular updates about his latest ventures with his 42.6m followers.
He is often subjected to criticism from disgruntled customers, who air complaints about Tesla vehicles.
The new appointment comes months after Tesla reportedly laid off its entire PR department.
The company did not list a salary for the role, which is fully remote, but said it included full benefits such as a healthcare plan.
Tesla closed up 18.390 at 844.550. Volume was 49% below average (neutral) and Bollinger Bands were 115% wider than normal.

AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
