Tesla Inc’s chief accounting officer resigned after just a month on Friday and a second senior executive was reported to be leaving as well, hours after Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk smoked marijuana on a live webcast.

Lol so funny to see that in reuters.

Alex Jones handled the Rogan podcast better, but really? Shouldn't there be a LOT of people resigning because their bosses do powdered/pilled uppers where people literally get killed over?

I hope they had better reasons... I mean, there probably are.

Who takes a job for a month? Morton sounds like a jerk and a jerk that's scared of the SEC.

Came here to say this. Their main issue is delivery, not quality issues.
They can't make them fast enough.

Good riddance, Musk is his own person on his non-work time, regardless of what shareholders or investors think of him.

What if patrons had interfered with da Vinci's work? Then again, the giant bronze horse could be considered exactly that, a huge waste of his time.

I know Musk has his quirks etc, but DAE feel like this latest slew of Musk coverage is an organized and opportunistic smear campaign? I mean, the guy is actively challenging the entrenched models of auto production and distribution, energy availability and consumer access, and more. There have to be a lot of greedy fucks trying to take him down.

Yes, and it seems like he's doing it to himself. It's like he's trying to intentionally implode his career.

So either something extremely fishy is happening, or he's just so tired and stressed that he can't help but keep making serious PR errors
