Taking 89.3% men from your source at face value, and selecting 12 people at random, that gives a 12.2% chance (1 in 8) that the company of that size would be all male.
Add in network effects, risk tolerance for startups, and the hiring practices of larger companies, and that number likely gets even larger.
What’s the p-value for a news story? Unless this is some trend from other companies run by Musk, there doesn’t seem to be anything newsworthy here.
Nice stats, but it isn’t broken down on industry. From experience (I worked in different fields) in some industries such as pharma, people analytics or marketing, women are even likely the majority (they were majority when I worked in pharma, for instance). In more “pure” tech and fintech companies, I do not believe those stats represent the “natural distribution”. I know it’s anecdotal, but trust me, it’s not easy to find woman in AI in some industries. They are highly valued, well paid and have quick career progression because of this, to attract and retain them.
That said, elon is probably “machist” type of guy, I am not defending him. Just trying to give a bit of context
Eh, the gender imbalance is bad, but not 0/12 bad… here are some stats
Those stats don’t take into account the number of women that would want to work for Elon Musk.
Isn’t the fact that he’s repulsive sort of the whole complaint?

“my anecdotal industry experience trumps your stats” you don’t sound like you have a very unbiased opinion brah
