> Not a surprise if you’ve read any of Musk’s tweets this past weeks. He sounds unhinged.
The past few weeks?
The dude accused a rescue operations leader of being a pedophile after the leader said Musk's stupid giant box wouldn't fit through the passages in the cave. The one where people were having to take off their diving gear and push it through ahead of them because the passages in the caves were so tight.
Then there was a the "fuck California health code, I'm going to keep cranking out cars, who cares if my employees get sick and spread covid" thing a year or so ago.
Then there was the model 3 production meeting where people quit on the spot, to his face, because they were tired of being shouted at.

Every time people re-tell this story, it gets more and more ridiculous.
He wasn't a "rescue operations leader", he was a hobby diver living in the area and acted was an advisor to the actual rescue team.
What got Musk (and others) riled up was not him saying that it wouldn't work, it was him telling Musk "to shove the submarine up his ass" (exact wording "stick his submarine where it hurts") live on a CNN TV interview.

Except he didn't in fact say anything like that. California had already allowed the factory to open. It was the local alameda county officials preventing him from opening the factory (and other nearby counties had already opened) because they were being slow at approving Tesla's paperwork for how they would operate under Covid. Also other automotive factories elsewhere in the country with even worse Covid were already in operation.
