Dr. Elon & Mr. Musk: Life Inside Tesla's Production Hell
He truly is mad genius. Reminds very much Steve Jobs. In good and bad.
Dear WDolson - you keep rolling out bits of life in such a gentle and wise way that you must have been a great fellow to be around during working hours. I have had good bosses and bad ones. When I was running my own outfit, I worked for a real jerk that I often times lost arguments and temper with. I wish I would have had someone like you to bounce ideas off at times like those.He is a lot like Steve Jobs. Musk is a genius visionary, but a terrible manager. I have a friend who was personally fired by Steve Jobs a few times. He was working a high profile project at Apple and encountered Jobs frequently. Jobs would fire him and then wonder why he wasn't at work the next day.
It's far more efficient to try and figure out why an under performing employee is not making the mark and try and fix the problem than just hire and fire people. Sometimes employees aren't competent, but more often something else is up and if you fix that, you don't waste the time and energy you spent training them to do their job.
While I respect what Tesla is doing, I would never want to work there.
If that article is accurate, then Elon Musk is a good visionary, but an extremely terrible manager. Under those conditions, even the best engineers no matter how smart would fail. Making the path for Tesla to become successful a lot harder than it could've been with a good manager.Dr. Elon & Mr. Musk: Life Inside Tesla's Production Hell

SEC asks judge to hold Tesla’s Elon Musk in contempt, saying he violated agreement on social media posts
The Securities and Exchange Commission cited a recent “inaccurate” tweet by Musk as evidence that he broke a deal that demanded his social media be reviewed.
Last year, Tesla and Musk each agreed to pay $20 million for his inaccurate tweet that he had secured the funding to take the electric car company private. Musk lost his role as chairman of the board, but the settlement avoided harsher punishment that could have included his removal as chief executive.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
I wonder if this will finally resonate with him.
still searching for the right frequencyI wonder if this will finally resonate with him.
Why the f*ck can't they just revoke this idiot's Twitter privileges.
When he says they made 0 cars in 2011, what about all the Roadsters they sold that year?
2011 Tesla Roadster Review, Ratings, Specs, Prices, and Photos
Or is he now thinking that Lotus "made" them?
Back in the 1st gen Roadster era, Tesla tried hard to say that they were Tesla created cars, not just a Lotus with Tesla battery & motor.
This is what got him in trouble with the SEC...
Musk has publicly disparaged the settlement. In an an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" in December, Musk said he didn't "respect" the SEC. He also claimed no one at the company was proofreading all his posts.
"The only tweets that would have to be ... reviewed would be if a tweet had a probability of causing a movement in the stock," he said. "Otherwise, it's — hello, First Amendment."
When asked how he could avoid moving markets if the company isn't reviewing all of his tweets, Musk said, "I guess we might make some mistakes. Who knows?" He added, "Nobody's perfect." In its court filing Monday, the SEC pointed to the "60 Minutes" interview as evidence that Musk is "not serious" about the settlement agreement.
