Unless I am misreading badly, Musk does not say anywhere in this e-mail that "this was an excuse for Tesla missing their 5000 units/week goal".
Musk states that Tesla is investigating whether this person was receiving any outside impetus, and warning employees to be extra vigilant for signs of sabotage during the next few weeks, but that wasn't what OP claimed.
Any deliberate attempt by Musk at conflating these different events is up to interpretation, but note that this is an internal e-mail and not a press release. It's easiest to just interpret this message at face value.
- avs733 8y agoYeah but thats the point...imply it through your language rather than state it explicitly. It's intellectually dishonest.
- marvin 8y agoI don't read such an implication, honestly. It certainly could be interpreted that way, but if one did, one would already have made some assumptions oneself. I just don't see how this matches up with Musk's brutally direct tone on other occasions. Misleading your own employees like this seems like it would be counterproductive. Not to mention, it would be obvious to any insider that this wasn't the reason for the struggles with ramping production - they have been behind the (admittedly heavily accelerated, since the 2015 plan) schedule for months.
