I can tell you right now, personally knowing people who worked with him way back on the first Model S, he has always been an absolutely unhinged shithead of the highest degree. He loved going into an absolute berserk rage dropping tons of F-bombs in conference calls, all because someone gave him an answer he didn't like.

otherwise your initial employees and partners are going to walk out the door and leave you with nothing.

Yeah, there's a reason the original people at Tesla all left, and he was kicked out of PayPal. Literally the only reason anyone tolerates him in any way is for the financial incentive, and that's the only way he's kept people around.

Jesus, I knew he was a piece of shit, I didn't realize he'd always been like that.
