Given that he knows his memes, and that “420” is a weed meme, and given it was a ridiculously stupid thing for him to tweet, I’m of the opinion he was literally high when he said that.

If he really did do it while high and without any factual basis, then the SEC case against him is solid.
"I did it for the lulz" is unfortunately not a valid legal defense.

Not sure if that is better or worse for the CEO of a public company with a market cap well into the billions. Regardless it doesn’t inspire confidence in his leadership.

I have to agree with you on all counts.
When I first heard that he did 100 hour weeks voluntarily, I was envious of his ability to put that many hours in. I’ve done that once and… vowed never again.
Now I am of the opinion that it broke him and he was unaware of it, and that all of his goals will be better met if he halves his work week.

Having worked +100 hour weeks for years at a time in the past, i found that it has an insidious effect on your judgement. You think you are ok, but you slowly start to drift out of alignment with reality. Looking at Elon from a distance he appears to be acting the same, functional but with impaired judgement.
Really? Where can I read the official quarterly numbers? Of what quality are these cars? Do they all need to be reworked?
>Musk has repeatedly stated that the company will not need to raise new money
He said that prior to raising cash the last 3 times. He also said he was going to take the company private at $420. For some reason, I'm doubtful.
