Anyone with a scintilla of intuition about human behavior would have recognized at least a year ago that Musk was begging for a way out of Tesla. The talks he gave about how overworked he was, the tweets, and the violation of the judge’s orders screamed out that he had given up.
- manicdee 7y agoHe wants a way out of Tesla being a publicly listed company. If you had listened to him as much as you want to think you have you’d know his stress is due to obligations to shareholders and effectively working with one hand tied behind his back because as far as the board is concerned shareholder value is more important than anything else.
- MaupitiBlue 7y agoI didn’t claim I had listened to him much. I remember his “Skynet is coming” remarks at the national governors association, and prior to warning about AI he made some rather sad comments about how the stress was getting to be too much for him. Watch it on YouTube. It was clear that he was at a breaking point. Not to mention the Rogan interview. I think Musk realized some time ago that Tesla was going to get close, but just shy of long term profitability. He’s looking for a way out that doesn’t involve him saying “uncle”.
