It's a limiting factor because people like Elon don't want to adapt to the WFH paradigm when it's eminently doable.
That means they're limited to qualified engineers within a very small radius of Silicon Valley.
Which means unless you're willing to pay something like 4x the national average for these qualified engineers, to offset the cost of living expenses in that part of Californistan, you're not going to find anyone to fill those positions.
Get your HQ or working sites out of major cities in California if you want asses in seats for engineering jobs at an affordable salary.
Or be a putz and hire H1Bs and stack them like cordwood in efficiency apartments locally.
