I’ve been job hunting for 3 months. Hardly any recruiters are reaching out, and my applications go nowhere. A recruiter from xAI reached out the other day, and I couldn’t bring myself to even apply. I told them I wasn’t interested without specifying why, but it’s Elon.
Just be honest with the recruiter that the particular employer is the issue, but you would be open to discussing other opportunities. That doesn’t burn bridges, and it helps them better determine what you’re looking for.

Should’ve told them why.
That recruiter might work somewhere less shit in the future, so I’d rather not burn a bridge unnecessarily.

Exactly. And if he nods his head silently, you understood each other. If he starts asking “but why, Elon is great!”, burn the bridge.
You don’t wanna stumble upon him in the future when he’s gonna be recruiting for another Elon. 😉
