Especially when Elon just talked about how trust, integrity et al.
Yet with all the integrity, trust etc... apparently the organisation was still fine going against all this and offering discounts, blatantly on the website. Inspect source code on the page that listed an inventory car even would show the field with a name 'discount' (it's since the memo repurposed for the EV incentives, don't bother to look anymore). Ok, he set the record straight yesterday, but then again he had talked about no discounts before, for example with the famous anecdote of how even his cousin had to go order one like everyone else. Also, it bothers no one that he has lost enough control/focus on his organisation that he let such an important principle lapse? I mean a principle that is 'absolutely vital' and 'fundamental to our integrity' and even 'nothing that matters more' , wouldn't you expect a CEO to be absolutely on top of that, wouldn't Jobs at the height of his Apple period be on it like a rabid dog? I suspect he's been busy more with SpaceX than with Tesla that the last months and it's starting to show. In a very real way. Regardless of the numbers, any principle (and violation thereof) that your CEO calls 'fundamental' is _never_ immaterial.
