In October, a CNBC headline proclaimed what many watchers have long suspected: Elon Musk is More Rockstar than CEO. And as we all know, rockstars get to live by a different standard than the rest of us commoners. This seems to be especially true in both the media's and some government officials' treatment of Mr. Musk.
"Brotopia," a forthcoming book by Emily Chang of Bloomberg TV details how last summer, a board member of Musk's SpaceX and Tesla hosted an outlandish, drug-laced sex party that Musk attended. Allegedly, participants consumed ecstasy called "Tesla;" named after Musk's company because it turbocharged them like the electric car. One woman recounted how an older male took advantage of her by using illegal substances to alter her decision-making.
