I'd say people in that position need that sort of confidence to do their job well. But that's why there's a board of directors: to reign in that ridiculous CEO overconfidence. Musk is the headline because he makes headlines but the real fuckers here are the board who though "sure, $56 billion dollars seems reasonable".

Note: my Tesla was in the shop for ELEVEN months waiting for spare fucking parts from Tesla. I wonder how many they could have made with $56 billion...
