Elon Musk Lobs New Criticism at SEC: Tesla CEO says ‘I do not respect’ agency

You love him or you hate him.

Elon is likely frustrated by his limited degree of freedom in his ability to express himself given his role as a chairman and CEO of a $60B public company.

It takes a unique empathy to understand the nature of that frustration - you're super smart, super rich, well-intentioned, but you still can't do everything that you want to do because of the constraints posed by the laws of our society, which by necessity, adhere to a lower common denominator.

The solution here for Elon is relatively straightforward, though. Continue to prove out Tesla's business, and get to the point where you can take the company private.
