Power Play Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century

Tim Higgins wrote a book about Elon. It's called Power Play, Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century.

Yeah, I think Tesla has long been Elon Musk's spicy mistress, right? SpaceX has been his first love, his wife, but Tesla's that drama that just keeps getting his attention.

But you almost get the sense in recent years that maybe he's been a little bit bored with it, right? Model 3, once it was successful, was successful.

And there are all these other things that were kind of getting his attention.

And in a lot of ways, it feels like kind of classic Elon in that, he likes to shoot and then think about it later once maybe the decision is maybe not as, didn't play out the way he wanted, right?

But it kind of gets a little bit of the way he kind of operates as a manager in which he kind of believes in this power of momentum and the idea that-

One of the things he said, we had a culture that if you work with him, he said he's not a fan of camaraderie. Because camaraderie prevents people from calling out each other's bullshit. So it kind of validates what you're saying.

He is also a CNBC onair contributor and the author of Power Play, a book about Tesla, Tim.
