And then it's just being the world's richest man with everybody licking you up and down. He gets particularly licked and so he’s always right. And we had a big falling out- an inexplicable falling out.” - Kara Swisher

      Yeah well, the Chinese govt doesn't accept complaints. So what's he supposed to do about that? Devise and install a better Chinese government?
      In the US complaining is a fundamental freedom, so he availed himself of it.

      The Wall Street Journal spoke to numerous sources who said that Musk does drugs not once, but on a regular basis, and much of the time the drugs are much harder than pot. I think your point about a chemical imbalance due to drugs is reasonable… I’m just pointing out that it appears to be from a lot of drug abuse including hard drugs, and not just one time smoking weed. A friend of mine hung out with Musk once a few years ago, and he said they stayed up late getting hammered doing shots of hard liquor. Many people don’t consider that to be a drug, but it is kind of similar… And it is very similar if a person is getting wasted off of it. And it indicates that he has a problem with substance abuse.

    I do think that if Tesla went under in 2018, the legacy automakers would have sharply reversed course on making EVs and Europe and America would be waiting for large numbers of Chinese EVs to arrive today. It would have set back the conversion to EVs by a decade, and that is a decade we likely don’t have on the climate catastrophe since I think we are already twenty years too late.
    That said, yep, for sure there was sexual harassment at Tesla and they knew it, because for example I reported a guy who was groping women and bragged about it. What followed was months of ongoing retaliation that finally got me fired.

    The sleeping on the factory floor is a somewhat classic "leading from the front" move. Giving more than you demand of others... You'd go out of your way for a leader like that.
    And I'm not sure his point about Tesla's fall being dangerous for humanity's future is entirely wrong. Tesla was a symbol. Proof that electric cars that everyone thought wouldn't be commercially viable, could work and be profitable.
    Tesla inspired all the other major car makers to change direction.
    Tesla failing, might well have had the reverse effect. Especially back then.
    So, even if a little exaggerated, his basic point may well be valid.
