  • I’ve been expecting this for a good while.

    Rule #1 Never believe his announcements. They may be true or not.

    Rule #2 Always assume that most people believe in him and his announcements.

    Rule #3 After applying the rules #1 and #2, sometimes you can see what he is trying to achieve with the announcement itself.

    Most times it is about inflating his ego. Often it is about pushing (manipulating) the stock market.

    So when he recently announced to "be allocating far more of my time to Tesla.” I immediately thought the hell you want to donate them your oh so precious time, again, suddenly (there would even be admitting a fault in it if he actually did), no you just want the stocks to stay up. And so I concluded that he doesn’t feel like taking responsibility at Tesla anymore.


  • The most difficult part isn’t your american taxes it’s making sure you’re paying taxes correctly in your new country.

    Not the taxes. It is the mandatory health insurance, old age insurance, unemployment insurance etc. and I was saying that in case the employer is in America and has no clue about such duties.

    It will make it easier if you work for a multinational company

    Yes, for sure.






  • working an american job remotely in Europe

    Very unlikely. The administrative tasks around tax and social insurance are extremely difficult to do for American companies in America (just imagine learning the neccessary “legalese” in a foreign language), and they take a good share of the salary, which comes as a surprise to most. But if you try to “simply” ignore it all, you become several kinds of criminal.



  • Nobody hires you because of whatever you are running away from.

    If you get hired, it is because of 1. what skills and experiences you bring with you, 2. how well these fit to the open position, and 3. how much of it you can prove (should be 100% - you better don’t claim it if you can’t prove it).

    One very, very, veryvery important “extra question” is the language skill. It is not because we Europeans would emphasize language, but because the language skills are missing so often with immigrants.
