If you are unable to learn anything from interviews, then that's a skill issue bro. Either that or you're watching shitty interviews and listening to the whole thing when you could just skip to the parts that are of value to you. Kara Swisher in particular brought interest into tech that wasn't there before. She started interviewing people in tech back in the 90s, before people paid any attention to people like Jobs, Gates and Zuckerberg. She's as important to the tech world as Rebecca Quick is to the financial world. I argue that lack of scrutiny into tech and finance led to the Dotcom bubble and the 2009 financial recession.

I do think that if Tesla went under in 2018, the legacy automakers would have sharply reversed course on making EVs and Europe and America would be waiting for large numbers of Chinese EVs to arrive today. It would have set back the conversion to EVs by a decade, and that is a decade we likely don’t have on the climate catastrophe since I think we are already twenty years too late. That said, yep, for sure there was sexual harassment at Tesla and they knew it, because for example I reported a guy who was groping women and bragged about it. What followed was months of ongoing retaliation that finally got me fired.

The Wall Street Journal spoke to numerous sources who said that Musk does drugs not once, but on a regular basis, and much of the time the drugs are much harder than pot.

A friend of mine hung out with Musk once a few years ago, and he said they stayed up late getting hammered doing shots of hard liquor. Many people don’t consider that to be a drug, but it is kind of similar… And it is very similar if a person is getting wasted off of it. And it indicates that he has a problem with substance abuse.

And I'm not sure his point about Tesla's fall being dangerous for humanity's future is entirely wrong. Tesla was a symbol. Proof that electric cars that everyone thought wouldn't be commercially viable, could work and be profitable. Tesla inspired all the other major car makers to change direction. Tesla failing, might well have had the reverse effect. Especially back then. So, even if a little exaggerated, his basic point may well be valid.

Well, money and some good PR ? Using the name Tesla is suspicious. Donald Trump had an uncle who knew Tesla and when he died, the CIA took all of his stuff.....Where is that free energy ? still hidden from the masses. I wonder why ? O yeah...the same reason Edison did not want it ; they could not put a meter on it. Both Elon and DT are into money. It is their "GOD"......A huge thing to have in common and maybe good looking women ? That is it. Elon is ADD while Trump is just a boot licker for billionaires. He is not one. He wants to be one but he is a fraud. Elon is a little kid in the candy store., having fun playing his chess game......

The time wasted asking long questions, let the expert answer

Haaaaaahaha "[Elon] gets particularly licked" for being the richest man in the world 😂😂😂

Musk went from hero to zero when he went to Israel and fillated Netenyahu at the expense of so very many Palestinian lives. Having said that Kara Swisher here is simply doing a petty cynical hatchet job on Musk for dumping her. What a waste of time to watch her here.

Can we be honest and say that Wall Street needs an Iconoclast to sell the tech sector? When Steve Jobs passed away the hype machine ramped up for Musk and he leaned into it. Not that he doesn't have an ego but he's playing the character they demand if him. And yes I realize he did not create some things that people associate to him but he is a very good spokesman. Tesla is very successful and has never run a single ad. Musk is the product more than the car although they are exceptional vehicles.

" . . he's playing the character "they' demand of him". What drivel. Elon has always refused the unfair demands of others, period.

Swisher is insufferable.

Kara, thanks for sharing your experience and observations about Musk. I used to be a fanboy before he dropped his cover and began acting out. Truly a shame.

Honestly this is a mother establishments journalist who has lost access to the most innovative person of our lifetime and is now online venting. She is the problem with modern day journalism.

I doubt Musk remembers who this is.

And Elon Musk will never know you either. He will never come to your defense. Grow up and stop licking the boot
