Elon Musk is incredibly stupid, and for the good of Tesla the board should kick him out.

Tesla and Alameda County agreed to a plan to re-open on May 18th.

Elon Musk should have stuck with that plan. Now he has increased the odds of his employees catching a deadly virus, getting the factory shutdown for longer, all while putting the company at increased legal risk.

I don't think he is really that stupid. I am balancing between two opinions now:

- He has gone really, actually crazy

- He knows that Tesla is on the edge of bancruptcy and is intentionally trying to get kicked out of Tesla before it happens, while keeping the image of being a hero and avoiding the financial responsibility

I would be sure it is 2, except to a non-lawyer like me it seems he is doing things that actually can put him in jail now. So I don't know.

they do have SEVERE cash flow issues, but like pretty much everything Elon does, it could have been handled better. Considering the days where Tesla was small enough to be managed by an inexperienced CEO are way in the past, I really wish Tesla got some more professional top management. They REALLY need their own Satya Nadella to right that ship.
