Musk spent $50k digging into critic’s personal life
arstechnica.comNow imagine working for him and you can see one of the reasons why Tesla's executive turnover is so high. Unfortunately, I think Musk needs to get slapped with a few more lawsuits before he'll learn to set aside the social media nonsense and just focus on being an eccentric innovator.
50k as a percentage of Musk's net worth (20b) is the same as 25 cents for the avg. American (net worth 100k).
Few people would have qualms paying 25 cents to potentially get back at someone who annoyed them.
If everyone could afford to hire a PI to dig up dirt on some random person they didn’t like, it would be a highly regulated industry. Because it’s mainly a service only the powerful or wealthy can afford no one bothers.
Where do they find these disgusting PIs anyhow? Craigslist?
The fact that the Vice reporter turned around and published an email that Musk clearly intended to be private is really pretty dirty. If anyone should be held accountable for damages it should be that guy.
Can you explain to me how exactly that relates to this story of Musk wasting $50k to dig into the life of a guy that slighted him? And how that absolves Musk of the fact that he spent said money to violate the privacy of someone else?
