Elon Musk works at a desk at the end of the Model X assembly line

  > Tesla’s President of Global Sales and Service Jon McNeil noted that the automaker has been working through performance testing and that CEO Elon Musk has been personally testing Model X’s as they come off the assembly line. Isn't this bad management practice? I guess as a symbolic gesture of dedication, this is nice, but it seems like a failure to delegate properly. Certainly he could hire someone good at testing cars for much less than his leadership abilities are worth per hour. Though I guess if it results in generating flattering news stories about Musk's dedication, it is worth his time... "CEO hires employees to do work" is a much less evocative headline.
