Elon Musk is hiring for every app, no fancy degree needed – CNBC TV18

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a job offer for software engineers to create an ‘Everything App’. To be eligible for the job, you just need to have a passion for coding. In a social media post, Musk asked ‘hardcore software engineers’ to share their best work on the given mail. He said that traditional qualifications were not a priority; Instead, what mattered was the engineer’s coding ability.

It doesn’t matter where candidates earned their degrees or where they have worked in the past, as long as they are dedicated software engineers, the entrepreneur said.

“If you are a hardcore software engineer and want to build an Everything app, please join us by sending your best work to Code@x.com. We don’t care where you went to school or even whether you went to school at all or what ‘big name’ company you worked for. Just show us your code,” he wrote on X.

Interestingly, Musk’s unique approach towards education prioritizes skill-based education over traditional education. He has previously argued for a problem-solving-focused education system rather than an education system based on memorization and standardized tests.

He believes education should focus on ‘teaching problem-solving, not just tools’, as he commented in a 2020 interview with The New York Times.

Often referred to as a ‘super app’, the idea of ​​an everything app is a comprehensive platform that offers various services like messaging, e-commerce and more, reports Reuters.

The idea of ​​such super apps is particularly popular in Asia and tech companies around the world have attempted to replicate it.

X CEO Linda Yaccarino recently hinted at the upcoming launch of financial services on the social networking platform known as ‘X Money’.

On January 1, 2025, she wrote on X, “In 2024, X changed the world. Now, you are the media! 2025X will connect you in ways you never thought possible. X TV, X Money, Grok and more. buckle up. happy new year!”
