Gotta get people back to commuting ASAP, otherwise nobody will need Tesla's, right?

  For a man that has been investigated by the SEC for tanking his own companies stock price with a few tweets, it's hard to imaging someone accusing him of having ulterior motives for the sole purpose of increasing his wealth. I certainly don't know him personally, but outward evidence would suggest to me that your comments implications are without merit.

    It was only a handful of weeks ago that Elon saved himself 140+ million dollars by flagrantly violating securities laws. This has been discussed endlessly as part of the Twitter news.

  This is clever, but it is unlikely his motivation is to microscopically increase demand for Teslas by having Tesla's white-collar workforce commute more. It is much more likely that he earnestly believes that the trade-offs for Tesla organization favor a fully on-site office workforce, knowing that will drive away some excellent team members. (It's hard to argue with Tesla's success; but it seems to me the future more broadly is away from on-site office workforces... even and especially at companies doing well.)

    Of course he does not believe that making Tesla workers work in-office will increase demand for Tesla, but Elon Musk dunking on remote work is bound to have some effect on other tech CEOs which might create a ripple effect and cause even more people to start commuting again.
