Tesla is at it again.

Elon Musk belongs to the rare breed of vidionary leaders who get things done. Like Bob Lutz described in his 2013 book ”Icons and idiots: Straight Talk on Leadership”, it is a breed of men (mostly), who may have the most difficult personal traits, but they have some outstanding personal qualities that make people follow them, and how they get things done against all odds. They make mistakes, as all humans do, but the bottom line is always on the positive side.

Howard Hughes was mentioned, as well as John Z. DeLorean. GM design chief Bill Mitchell might be on the list. Enzo Ferrari would surely be on it, as well as late Sergio Marchionne. You get the picture, I’m sure.

My next DD will be a Tesla Model S.

You would also put in that group another well known one... Steve Jobs. Know several people who worked for him and he was a PIA. People walking the hallways at Apple would run and hide behind any door they were near when they heard he entered the building because he might fire you for not working. Nonetheless, they all say he was unsurpassed in the ability to see the use of tech and in it's design.
