Running For The Exits

[Blind Gossip] This very rich and famous man is losing it!

He’s coupled up with more than one famous woman and is supposedly worth at least $1 billion. However, he is getting a vote of “no confidence” from the people who know him best, and they are running for the exits!

Every top executive at [the company] is quietly planning their exit. The whole thing is a house of cards and they want to get out before it collapses. He’s putting on a show like everything is fine, but it definitely is not. He is not the genius that everyone thinks he is, but you don’t figure that out until after you’ve worked here awhile. I think there’s something mentally wrong with him. He gets easily distracted (especially if there is publicity involved), he really doesn’t know how to run a business (which is frightening for a man in his position), and he lies constantly. I guess he has to keep lying though, or all the investors will run.

Sounds like it’s time to get off this sinking ship!

BG Note: Although “house of cards” and “sinking ship” sound like clues, this has nothing to do with either Kevin Spacey or Johnny Depp.

    • This has to be it. Packer just resigned from all of the boards he was on. Taking care of his mental health.

  6. Elon Musk with Tesla….

    Optional: Maybe it’ll eventually get bought out by another more established enterprise?

  7. Elon Musk!

    They’ll pull an Uber and find a new, stable CEO with reasonable expectations.

  11. Elon Musk

    It will continue fine, the tech needs work but is sound and is the future no doubt

  14. Elon Musk, of course. It’s really a shame because we need cars like Tesla that don’t burn fossil fuels.

  16. This is Elon Musk.
    I teach at a college and in one of our classes, we looked at leadership of different CEOS We came to the conclusion that he was deranged. I feel bad for his employees because on the face of it – he looks like a genius – but once you start taking everything apart – you realize something is way, way off. Sad

  22. Elon Musk. HIs business will get through this situation. His company put a rocket into space. No one is going to let him go down with the rocket ship!

  25. Elon Musk

    Our mayor and city just entered into a huge project with him, wouldn’t be a surprise if it was a bad deal — our city makes horrible deals.

  30. Initially thought this was The Donald. However, I’m thinking this is Elon Musk. The clue “sinking ship ” has been used as a reference toward the Telsa Company.
    The person involved is supposed worth around a billion, but Elon Musk is apparently worth over 19 billion and The Donald is worth about 3 billion.
    I’m thinking maybe both guesses are incorrect. I’m intrigued as to whom other posters think .

  36. Elon Musk?

    I think the business will be sold so that he can start another company or continue to live well while he thinks about the situation.

  38. Elon Musk…gonna end up in prison. Lying to investors and inflating company value to get bigger bank loans. Now is the time to run away from him as quickly as possible.

  39. Sounds a lot like Elon Musk. I think he is doomed unless he gets some business folks around him to manage things. Tesla is having big problems even with gov’t subsidies, and he’s too stretched out with SpaceX and other visionary projects.

    • coud be also current POTUS, but I don’t think “everyone” ever thaught he’s a genius, beside that clues seems to fit him.

  41. I’m guessing Elon Musk. He’s been having some business problems lately

  47. Elon Musk. I think the man is a genius but his company, Tesla, could be headed for financial difficulties. If he has to infuse money himself or issue new bonds, he will.

  56. This sounds like Elon Musk to me. When asked how his business will go, I must say, “which business?” He has many, and none of them are going very well at the moment, including SpaceX

  58. Trump??? Doubt he’s honestly worth anywhere near a billion… People only think that because he keeps saying he’s a multi-billionaire. No proof…

    No – this actually sounds like Elon Musk & Tesla…

    • Optional: It’s on its last legs. Putting the new joint album with Beyoncé on Spotify after just days despite intitially being a tidal exclusive and the reports of fake streams are the final straw. It was dead on arrival and the longer they drag it out the worse it’ll be for them.

  63. This sounds like Elon Musk and Tesla.

    I really hope his business survives, as it is good for the planet.

  65. Elon Musk? He’s always pushing the envelope of sanity right through the post office wall. And his competence seems dubious at best.

  68. At first I thought it was the Trumpus but I am going to go with Mark Zuckerberg or Trumpus Jr.

  73. Elon Musk

    Well, from what I’ve read, it doesn’t look like it’s going to last much longer.

  75. Eeeeeelon! Elon Muscrat!

    I think Tesla will go belly up, which is really BS because we American taxpayers dumped a lot of money into his business. I also think Elon may have ADHD and isn’t on meds for it. As for him being a liar, maybe he’s like a business carney?

    • Obvsly, the Johnny Depp reference is to Elon once dating Amber Heard. Don’t get the House of Cards reference. Elon must have dated someone on the show (Kevin?? ;-D)

  77. Elon Musk. If not him, my guess is Jeff Bezos (but this REALLY sounds like Musk).

    Yeah, it’ll tank. But he’s worth almost $20 billion dollars, so he probably doesn’t mind at all that much.

  79. May be way off, but Elon Musk? Amber Heard is the only one I can think of right off. (And they do say no Johnny Depp, which should mean not her so maybe I’m totally wrong)I do know that when he shot off his spaceX rocket thing in December, it was the only time I actually thought we were being attacked by aliens (we were driving on Interstate 10 towards LA from desert).
    I think he doesn’t have to be the genius as long as he knows how to delegate all aspects of the business.

  80. Elon Musk

    The Emperor has no clothes. Tesla will be bought by an actual car company and they will continue to be built, only the company will be pared down and they’d get rid of the model x because making them costs too much money.

  84. Elon Musk
    It will go belly up in a big way, which is really sad for all the investors

  87. Elon Musk, he’s seems like a basket case.
    Tesla- hopefully the company will make it.

  91. James Packer, Mariah Carey’s Billionaire ex-boyfriend. He just resigned his position in the family business due to his mental health issues.

  95. Elon.

    Tesla will probably be bought out for next to nothing and blend into obscurity like DeLorean.

  96. Elon Musk and his Tesla corporation. Musk is the modern version of PT Barnum and the whole show is going to implode very soon.
