I'm a huge Elon Musk fan and I deeply share his vision for getting humans on mars, being more environmentally friendly, etc. However, I'm starting to lose faith in him.

First of all, the guy is stretched way too thin. He runs two huge companies. Now he is starting some other company to be even more distracted. (Boring company)

It sounds like he really pushes his workers way too hard. I wouldn't want to work at one of his companies. Long hours, a lot of stress, and you're underpaid!

He rushes too damn much. I understand wanting to be first and beat the competition, but Telsa is moving way too fast with the Model 3. Rushing this car to production. With software, when has this ever played out well? They are building cars that real people will drive. You can't rush or cut corners with something that will kill people.

I really fear if he doesn't step back and change his ways a bit, he just won't be able to hire and retain the talent needed to change the world.
