There are plenty of people who have no problem working from the office 5 days a week, and even some who prefer it. On HN some people are vocal about insisting on remote work, but outside the bubble here people aren't so adamant. Your average person would prefer remote, but isn't going to refuse a job offer based only on that one factor.

It's also becoming increasingly difficult to get a remote job with a bay area salary.

But then, like with all of Elon's companies, the question is: who's the (serious) competition?

Rethorical question... There is none.
