Elon can sleep on the factory floor for weeks to solve a production problem, he doesn't even treat himself well, u think he is going to be the nice guy to the employees lol

[Kaoru.x]

click bait lmao, for me he's praising elon, he even admitted he wrong about elon. LOL

[searonly]

You guys brought this man on just to try to get him to say something bad about EM. SAD... FAKENEWs

[bridgeroneill]

He said “working with Elon musk is difficult”, y’all butchered it for clickbait

[deficator]

This news headline is EXTREMELY misleading.

There's a reason why your network isn't doing so great...

[MladenGavric]

SO. Yahoo Finance's take on this guy praising his former boss is that Elon is difficult?

[JarthenGreenmeadow]

"Elon Musk is difficult" is a clear example of taking quotes out of context.
The proper quotation is "working with Elon is difficult" Hes not talking about Elon himself.
Also how is that what you take out of all the outright positive things he had to say about him?

"is there any genius to the madness?" What a question. Does this girl know what the word achievement means?

[wendelrichard]

He's probably more difficult on himself than he is on others; he works 100 hours a week sometimes at the expense of his health, for the benefit of others.

Elon is like a combination of both the worker AND the queen of the hive. I can see how it would be difficult to keep up with his hours. But we need people like that for the good of humanity

[NJAEpic]

You legit took this man's words outta context and put it in the title. Terrible news lol.

[heavenblood]

This is why people use Google.. Congratulations yahoo you played yourself! 👏.

There is no controversy except in the schizophrenic minds of pseudo-journalists. "Just get him off Twitter" blew my mind

[julianriise]

"He understand's absolutely everything about the product he sells" Couldn't have said it better, new title: "Elon is a genius"

[lewisj.]

You could've titled the video 'Elon is changing the world' since that was also said.:)

[kolos]

"What he demanded from others, was hard to deliver. What he demanded from himself, was hard to believe"

[cusman]

As long as Elon and his teams at Tesla and Space X and Boring keep accomplishing their mission, I am not going to get tired of Elon making minor mistakes on Twitter. Even the people that quit working for the man due to personal burnout have his respect and know it is foolish to bet against a man like Elon who is both capable and committed.

[AdventuresInTheSky]

Couldn’t accomplish what he does without being difficult to work with. Jobs was the same way. Heck my own boss is this way.

[gokulvshetty]

That woman reporter tried real hard to make him say something negative
