The Crying Boss

[Blind Gossip] We’ve told you before that this billionaire has serious issues and that the people who work for him are quietly abandoning his sinking ship.

There are more and more stories coming to light about how unbalanced he it. Here’s another one.

One of my buddies works for [him], has dealt with him personally. Says he definitely has some mental issues. He will sometimes start swearing at himself in the middle of a sentence or will start crying during a conversation for no reason. Other times he is just normal. Employees avoid him out of fear because he will sometimes decide in the middle of a conversation that you are just not essential to the company and will fire you.

It must be very stressful for your paycheck to be dependent on someone who seems to be going down in flames!

    Elon Musk

    Elon Musk. A previous blind was about his strange behaviour.

    I won’t be surprised if this is about Trump though!

    [Optional] What should happen/will happen to him and his business?

    Elon Musk

    I think that he is trying to do too much, to innovate on too many fronts at once. He seems to be exhibiting symptoms of a full-fledged breakdown. More and more risky and extreme behavior patterns leading to a big fall. Hope he gets the help he needs when that happens. He won’t do it before, sadly

    Elon Musk
    He should get some help for his mental health issues and transfer the reins of control to his second-in-command or someone else. The board needs to get involved and sack him .

    Elon Musk. Sinking ship could refer to the mini sub he offered to rescue the kids’ soccer team.

    Anyone in that position is under extraordinary stress – that can make even very stable people act in ways they otherwise wouldn’t. But if he does have a condition, he should go to a doctor, just like he would for any other medical issue. There should be absolutely no shame in having mental illness. It’s way more common that most people think. He deserves compassion and I hope he gets it.

    Elon Musk. His mental health which has always been tenuous is deteriorating. Scary, glad I don’t own a Tesla.

    Billionaire: Elon Musk
    Clues: paycheck-paypal/ Going down in flames- related to Space X

    He needs to get some help

  47. Goodgrief says

    Elon Musk. His investors are trying very hard to save his a$$. I think he will self destruct soon, but bounce back in a few years. Just because he is wealthy, doesn’t mean he can spread nasty, hurtful lies about people just because he feels offended by someone not liking one of his inventions. Maybe the guy shouldn’t have said it publicly, but Elon shouldn’t have stooped so low.

    I highly doubt that Trump would start crying in the middle of a sentence for no reason. Elon Musk is my guess. Considering how terrible his father was, I can sort of understand why Elon cries sometimes and swears at other times. It’s embarrassing, though that it’s being made public.

    I have the feeling that the powers that be want him out or severely curtailed. Guy needs to get some help for his pain. Good luck to him.

    Elon Musk
    Optional: He’s one of those guys that has really great ideas but has been proven to be horrible at executing most of them. He’d make a better behind-the-scenes inventor than a leader of a company. Let someone else lead and leave him to his creativity alone in a room.

  57. TeaDrinker says

    Clues; ship (could be about the kid-sized submarine he mentioned), coming to light (maybe about his Space X – light years, space, etc), down in flames (some of the Teslas have been having issues with the batteries catching fire recently).

  58. cicerina says

    Elon Musk.

    Clues: going down in flames is a reference for the flamethrower he manufactured and sold via his Boring company.

  63. firefly nights says

    Billionaire: Elon Musk
    Clues: Serious issues, unbalanced, flames (cars catching fire).

    I can’t officially diagnose him but sometimes he seems to be almost manic and other times extremely depressed. I don’t know what’s going on with him or what will happen to Tesla but “unhinged” seems to be the word of the day when it comes to Elon.

    Elon Musk

    Sinking ship – mini sub to help with the rescue in Thailand, it was never going to be used as it was not suitable.

  73. badgerette85 says

    Clues:
    Billionaire
    Sinking ship- builds subs
    Flames- Tesla issues
    Cartoon looks like him

  77. aaaPanda says

    James Packer. Mariah torched her wedding dress (flames) he totally blew the budget on a luxury boat venture (sinking ship), his executives are reported to be leaving in droves, and he has just resigned to focus on his mental health.

  79. PatioPrincess says

    Please don’t let this be Elon Musk. I like him and he sure has some great ideas. He is allowed to be somewhat eccentric. All the genius’ are/were.

  84. jrizzo says

    Elon Musk. Clues are the related blind and the “sinking ship” clue—he recently came under fire for making comments about the people who rescued the Thai soccer team, because he was salty his submarine didn’t get there first.

    It’s sad. He definitely has mental health issues, maybe bipolar or bpd. Someone will eventually take over the company for him. Hopefully he gets the help he needs.

  90. GoTellTheBees says

    Elon Musk… I can’t wait for the hype over him to be over and for people to realize he’s a d*ck.

  91. Caz1310 says

    Elon Musk. Him turning up to the cave rescue uninvited with his unwanted submarine certifies him as unhinged.

    I hope he loses $$$$$ everything and someone else with excellent business credentials makes a new viable energy source accessible and affordable to all.

  94. dawnray says

    Elon Musk of course. He is going to be in more trouble if that British diver sues him. When Musk went on his Twitter rant at the diver, his company’s share prices dropped 3% within the space of a few hours.

  96. xXvalentinaXx says

    Elon Musk
    clues: sinking ship for his part in the rescuing of the soccer team & going down in flames for the flamethrower his company sells?

    Optional: I don’t know, I like him and feel really bad for him lately. I hope he gets help.

  97. Xanadu says

    James Packer

    He’s always been unstable and in many ways takes after his father, Kerry. He must have contained himself, during his Mariah phase.

    Packer is rich enough to retire from business and public life and he should do that.

  99. MinnieMe says

    Elon Musk at Tesla which has had problems with vehicles catching on fire.
    Once all subsidies end for him, no one will be able to afford any of his products.
