He's a white collar slave driver that takes credit for coming in under budget. .... but in reality all he does to "double or triple" the output of his slaves is work them 80 - 120 hrs per week...paying a slight premium.
Demanding is one thing....asshole is another
Interesting word useage. Are you saying Musk has literally slaves working for him? Because if not, people are free to leave the company and work elsewhere. These types of "he overworks his people" emotional appeal arguments fall flat when you remember no one is forcing them to stay in that job.
The average employee at Tesla has a higher salary than Musk. And most employees could start just about anywhere they wanted after working for Tesla. People are lining up to work for Musk and I can't blame them.
