The
Elon Musk is hailed as an innovator and disruptor who went from knowing next to nothing about building cars to running the world’s most valuable automaker in the space of 16 years.

As long as my shares continue on the uptrend, Elon can use whatever methods he desires.

The guy does have some serious balls. Admiration for some of his accomplishments but he still seems sleazy to me and NOT CEOish as per his Tesla antics...

He is a genius and a visionary. People with those traits generally have a disregard for rules...he needs to be surrounded by people who can channel those characteristics, but who can also stand up and tell him when he is wrong. For Tesla to move to the next level the C suite needs to be filled with such people, rather than those who just look the other way and let Elon do whatever he wants. Apple had the same growing pains, and truly rose to greatness after the return of Steve Jobs...at his return Jobs realized this and filled the C suite with people who kept him in check (ie. Tim Cook).

I'm looking forward to battery day next week. Latest rumors are fist sized tabless batteries with an order of magnitude more capacity and costs under $100/KW.

"Meanwhile, an association with Japan’s Toyota, another early investor, taught him about quality management." That was a knee slapper.
