Agreed. My previous manager had worked with Elon Musk at Zip2 (maybe even as the CTO). He used to talk about how peculiar Elon is. Does it ring a bell who I might be talking about? :)

I also have a friend who was on the leadership team @ Zip2 and the stories I heard about Elon were hilarious. Unfortunately they remain unpublished, which is a shame, because they are really good.
