Let's be clear though, pg has a substantial financial incentive in Musk succeeding, given that he's a VC and less employees/worse paid employees leads to (at the margin) more money for him.

Don't get me wrong, lots of people are spouting off against Musk for various unrelated reasons, but pg is not a neutral character in this fight.
