Anyone else think Elon Musk has been behaving erratically in a non-inspirational way? He's not being a disruptor so much as being weird, and now we don't like him.
Most of his fanciful ideas have not and possibly cannot be fulfilled. He offered a one-person sub to rescue those Thai boys, but it was unworkable because it was known to everyone else working on the problem on the ground that the water clogged path was too twisty and tight for a craft to navigate--this is an example of Musk's unrestrained optimism in technology but also the fact that no one in his company bothered to measure the damn thing before sending it over. He was trying to exploit a tragedy to call attention to how great his company is.
His conference calls, his rumors that triggered an SEC investigation, his man-crying, his Twitter feud with a diver who tried to save those Thai kids.... He seems to be unraveling like Charlie Sheen minus the sordid sexual history.
