So Telsa's quality control and production issues must not be solved if he's so stressed out?

It might as well be a sympathy play, or do his employees get as much credit when they 'have a rough time'? Having to explain your actions by going 'I was not on weed' kinda tells how much you dun goofed.

I have nothing against flowing tears, but did he do this only with the interview or also earlier with his staff?

04:23 AM Musk tweets:

I thought the bitches were white!!! #FundiFunding

Ambien is a hell of a ride: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/17/tesla-board-members-reportedly-concerned-about-elon-musks-use-of-ambien.html

Hahaahaaa agreed. Yeah these ambien concerns are valid. When you go public you are there to serve shareholders period. I hope Musk and Zuck get booted.

Super true. To the point you legally HAVE to do everything to profit the shareholders, and if you don't they can kick you out or sue you. My family has been on the receiving end of some badness related to this set of laws.

Wouldn't matter too much if either or both got booted, might even grow worse. Usually the people with the executive power don't know shit, they just have power.

Zuck made a platform to rank women on university. Musk made paypal. They at least 'know' a bit of the stuff they are doing (still can make horrible decisions) but 'other' people might be only driven by money.

Musk made Space X.

He sent his Tesla to Mars. 2 of the 3 rockets that delivered the car landed themselves. 230 ft tall (think 23 storey building) self-landing rockets is crazy AF.

Foolish tweeting is trivial. Easily forgivable.

Have you ever sent out crazy tweets...? "On Weed!?"

Yeah, made me realize I was psychotic and smoking weed everyday all day for 4 years isn't as healthy as smoking grass sounds like. Man when I found out I wasn't alien Jesus, that was a bummer and I wouldn't been able to lead a company.
