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. His ex-wife Justine talked about how controlling and unstable he was, and there’s been rumors about him having ‘outburts’ at work.

    James Packer? I think I read somewhere he was having treatment for mental health issues

  5. Animax says

    def Elon. He always seemed messed up, and not just “huge ego” type of boss… What should happen to him? Well, I recommend good full-time therapy and a break from business for a few months at least.

  11. 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.

  13. 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.

    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.

  16. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.

  26. 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.

  31. 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.

  33. 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.

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

  40. mary55geelong says

    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.

  47. 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.

  52. cicerina says

    Elon Musk.

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

  55. TeaDrinker says

    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.

    • 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).

  60. amagod121 says

    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.

  62. 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.

  72. initsed says

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

    He needs to get some help

  75. TNSunny says

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

  76. Marvella says

    Elon Musk. He’s going to be remembered as one of the biggest frauds in history.

  78. chalupacabra says

    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.

  79. Theaterfan says

    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 .

  86. JohnCarson says

    Billionaire: Elon Musk
    Clue: going down in flames (many Teslas catching fire)

    • Animax says

      yeah, there’s something very strange about this girl, first Johnny, now Elon… or maybe she just chooses guys with issues.

  94. Firebringer says

    Elon Musk.

    the veil is about to be lifted. He’s smart, but he’s unstable

  100. GrannyGoose says

    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

  104. ILUVCA4evr says

    Billionaire: Elon Musk?

    Clues: going down in flames. Alot of the Tesla cars are catching fire.

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

  106. Urneighbour says

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

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

  107. Sadhbh says

    Elon Musk

    Clues: flames – he was selling flamethrowers at some point, a tesla car went up in flames recently
