Now imagine working for him and you can see one of the reasons why Tesla's executive turnover is so high. Unfortunately, I think Musk needs to get slapped with a few more lawsuits before he'll learn to set aside the social media nonsense and just focus on being an eccentric innovator.
50k as a percentage of Musk's net worth (20b) is the same as 25 cents for the avg. American (net worth 100k).<p>Few people would have qualms paying 25 cents to potentially get back at someone who annoyed them.
The fact that the Vice reporter turned around and published an email that Musk clearly intended to be private is really pretty dirty. If anyone should be held accountable for damages it should be that guy.
