Maybe, but obviously he doesn't have to say anything of substance for it to impact the stock price. Announcement Thursday... BOOM, price goes way up
I think the contempt hearing is the least of his problems after the clandestine earnings brief and profit warning on Thursday after hours, that’s a huge breach of the rules. That’s more likely to see him removed as CEO than the tweet monitoring contempt hearing in my opinion.
I can’t imagine why an experienced general council left after just two months and coincidentally the day after those tweets, I can’t see any connections at all......
He’s his own worst enemy.

This whole pot thing is one of the worst aspects of Elon coming into contact with one of the worst aspects of government.
The pot thing because Elon has this weird need to make people happy. My interpretation of the event was Elon is that's he's not into pot, but took a drag just to play into what the host was talking about.
The federal government because they're antiquated laws against pot. How does the Federal Government even get good employees these days?
Here is a good quote.
“FBI Director James Comey said that the policy against hiring anyone who has smoked marijuana in the last five years has crippled our ability to prepare for cyber-attacks. He said all the best candidates are disqualified by this policy… [Recently,] Representative Gerry Connolly of Virginia offered an amendment that would require a congressional report on how marijuana’s status as a Schedule 1 drug is affecting our nation’s security, specifically whether it disqualifies the most efficient, productive, and suitable candidates.”
Where do you stand?

Media: "Tesla Is A Cult" and "fans worship Elon Musk as tech-savior" that's BS. We are totally grounded, work on facts, and..

You think the SEC is actually paying attention to that? They let companies break THAT rule all the time. :-( Selective enforcement everywhere.

Any GC, including mine would be gone based on Elons tweets... I would recommend to the Board that his Twitter account be closed ASAP.
Brilliant mind... terrible judgement
His defence is in, it looks weak... Appealing to the 1st Amendment, usually the last resort of the scoundrel.
Reminds me of something George Costanza did in Seinfeld. Get fired. Then show up at work the next day and get everyone to blow it off on the chance it was a joke. If a CEO is really busy and it occurs just between CEO and person then CEO is unlikely to remember and bother telling the person or their manager.
Elon is inspiring the kids demonstrating today. #ClimateStrike. Found the sign here A million students took to the streets demanding action on climate change. Here are 18 of their best signs.

Hard to say how accurate the article is when even the writer admits everything came from anonymous sources and from one side only. If the engineer is not super smart and super hard working as he/she claims to be the story would take an entirely different meaning. No doubt it's a tough place to work but the stake is so high Elon has the right to set the bar high.

If Elon does things like you and I he would have life's achievements just like you and I had.
To those who attack Elon my only question to them is how did the way you do things turn out?
Yeah good point. No matter how good a working place is, there will always be someone unhappy with the management.
Sometimes it is actually a bad management, but most often it is the employee that is underperforming or not meeting up to the requirements (eg not a smart enough engineer). Usually these stories come from one side only, because employers don't talk publically about their employees.
Sometimes there are under-performing employees. It's like relationships/friendships, if you have the occasional "friend" run for the hills, it's probably them. If your track record is a long trail of failed relationships (of all kinds), it's probably you. If your a manager and it seems all the employees are under-performing, maybe it's management expectations?

I mentioned this elsewhere, but I've lately been reading General McChrystal's take on Walt Disney in his book "Leaders: Myth & Reality"
Elon is very similar, I think, to Walt. Both were visionaries who had ideas that would make a complete paradigm shift in their chosen areas. Walt worked hard to provide and create a workplace that had the best light, the most comfortable chairs etc for working, but the wages were low, and the expectations for overtime and production rates against a need for perfection and speed were astronomically high.
He would reward the cream of the crop but actually came to a point where the lower echelons of the company all went on strike because they felt they were being maligned. Poor Walt couldn't understand how they would betray him. Did they not believe in the cause? Were they not working in jobs that hadn't even existed until he created the tech and the demand? Why didn't they understand?
Walt's brother Roy was one of the stabilising influences in the company as he desperately tried to balance the debt levels, income-streams, staff relations and public perception/media against Walt's world-changing gambles. And Walt did not really appreciate Roy's alarm about the money issues.
After the strike, Walt turned much of the Disney Studios production over to Roy (which turned it into the corporate megalith it is today) and started WED with a small team he trusted, of die-hard followers who would put in the overtime to change the world. This time an idea about a magical new theme park.
Perhaps there are some lessons to be learned here.

So you're saying that Elon should start a theme park?
