It's about time, really. He went off the deep end 5-6 years ago and proved he was just an arrogant salesman; the engineers/workforce is what achieved the consistent, iterative successes in SpaceX and Tesla for the decade prior. Since then he's done nothing but pump the stock with hopes and dreams (and financial crimes), and he's probably been a negative weight on productivity in all of his companies.
Wonder what international event 6ish years ago brought that image to the forefront...

Pedo guy wanted to hog the spotlight with his billionaire death trap submarine stunt.
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.
