If I was advising the board of
directors, I would ask for an
immediate meeting with Elon
Musk. I would ban him from
tweeting and I would ask for a
series of reforms to ensure that
he's properly taken care of.
IN AN INTERVIEW YESTERDAY WITH
THE NEW YORK TIMES, MUSK
"alternated between laughter and
tears" AND, "acknowledgedâthat
he was fraying."
SAYING, QUOTE "I've had friends
come by who are really
concerned."
MUSK SAYS HE'S BEEN WORKING 120
HOURS A WEEK, TRYING TO MEET
PRODUCTION GOALS ON A NEW MODEL

nobody can tell them what they
can and can't do because they
have so much money and they have
so much power - they believe
they can do anything until the
roof falls in and the floor
comes out underneath them and
that seems to be the position
that Elon Musk is in today. IF
THE ROOF DOES FALL IN ON ELON
MUSK?

Melissa Question:
Is there Tesla without Elon
Musk? Sam:
There was Apple without Steve
Jobs, so clearly there can be
Tesla without Elon Musk
This isn't just about company private is being
investigated by the SEC - they
want to know if he did it to
boost the stock price. And now
we're seeing thestock price go
down, so these unfiltered
thoughts
the Times is reporting that some
members of the board are
concerned that he's taking
Ambien
to sleep, and then making
colorful public statements that
impact the company. Remember
that Roseanne Barr blamed Ambien
for her regrettable tweet about
Valerie Jarrett. Sam Singer says
it used to be the case that when
things went wrong, people blamed
alcohol or drug addiction, now
it apears people can blame
Ambien.
TELSA'S BOARD SENT THIS
STATEMENT SAYING,
"THERE HAVE BEEN MANY FALSE AND
IRRESPONSIBLE RUMORS IN THE
PRESS ABOUT THE DISCUSSIONS OF
THE TESLA BOARD. WE WOULD LIKE
TO MAKE CLEAR THAT ELON'S
COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION TO
TESLA IS OBVIOUS."
MEANTIME.. THERE'S NO SHORTAGE
