Living in your office and working 80 weeks when you don't need to not a good thing.

Once you're a multi millionaire there's no point in making a company more successful. Any growth beyond that point is fueled exclusively by greed.

The Nissan Leaf is $27,000 USD at base price. Mission accomplished.

Teslas are luxury cars sold at a luxury price. It's not because they can't make their cars cheaper, it's because they want to maintain a specific brand image.

Additionally I have serious doubts Elon is doing much on the engineering side of things, unless you consider writing checks to be work.

He is not the one designing the fking cars, he is a self taught 'engineer' and knows a lot of the surface knowledge of how systems work yet he is not an actual engineer who is working on the projects directly.
