If true -- that is, Musk was criticizing an employee specifically for being at their child's birth instead of work -- then he's an ass, and he's wrong.

Steve Jobs, despite his skill at pushing Apple into a highly profitable and desirable direction, appears from most accounts to be a horrid, miserable human being. Same with every politician and celebrity. I doubt this will change much; Musk's goals and reputation hinge on technical delivery, not interpersonal skills.
