But the biggest perk is the culture of SpaceX itself and the opportunity to work in a rocket factory. Employees would gather "outside of mission control for the launches, which was an amazing experience to be a part of when you've all been working your butts off for that moment," Boehm said.
Musk has bought out all the tickets in a particular show in a movie theater for movies like Gravity and The Martian "which is a lot more fun when SpaceX buys out all the tickets and you watch with a bunch of smart-asses who are actually rocket scientists!" according to Boehm.
Well-known people, like actor George Takei and co-founder of Reddit Jeremy Edberg, give private talks to employees.
Celebrity spottings are another perk. "I saw Jennifer Aniston having lunch with Elon at the table across from me, ran into Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the bathroom, and had other people like Will Smith and Morgan Freeman come through the factory while I was working," Boehm said.
The next perk, an in-house masseuse, is a little more lavish and probably helps with the stress of working long hours.
Despite requiring a lot from employees, Musk takes the time to send encouraging emails and deliver speeches to employees.
The office perks start out relatively simple — Musk provides free dinners, coffee, and froyo to employees.
