> This is not 1950 anymore. There seems to be a lot of confusion over his podcast appearance and people are focusing too much on the cannabis debate. It's not about that. Consider for a moment this hypothetical scenario instead: How professional would it look for Musk if Rogan had instead offered some kind of binge-drinking shots challenge (maybe with some legal sleeping pills too), and Musk immediately accepted despite Rogan asking if shareholders might get upset? Even aside of that, how professional did that entire interview look across the whole two and a half hours? Was it focused, and representative of someone who works very hard average up to 70-120 hours per week? Would it be something that would have been appropriate for a non-exec worker representing a Tesla's interests (for example), or is it okay simply because Musk has the hero worship? Now, I assume this is all okay for a large number of people so consider this last question: where to next for Tesla - is Musk the genius everyone claims him to be (which he doesn't seem to refute in any way, not even by deferring to other geniuses around him), and will he be the saviour once more? How long will those around him (exec level and otherwise) continue to put up with these antics?
