  • Investors, analysts and the general public seem deeply unimpressed with Tesla's robotaxi event earlier this week.
  • Tesla's stock closed down 8% on Friday, when it was supposed to be a propulsive event for the company.
  • CEO Elon Musk has vowed to make Tesla into an AI and robotics powerhouse, but proof of this plan feels in short supply.

There’s little doubt that he squeezes high productivity out of people. He just does so in a combative and oppressive way that I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near.

I also believe that he pushes his engineering teams through problem solving challenges (which does not make him an engineer) by ruthlessly interrogating everything. That’s not salesmanship…. But I’m not sure what you’d call it. Product, maybe?

I'd call it a load of bullshit.

Of course. He’s a jerk and we hate him now therefore everything he does must be utter bullshit.
