Elon Musk smokes joint, slams 'clean coal'

摘要

This story was updated at 4:33 p.m. EDT. Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk smoked marijuana, slammed "clean" coal and chugged whiskey on a more-than-two-hour podcast last night as top officials left the company. The billionaire's comments to comedian Joe Rogan are under scrutiny because of Musk's recent flood of tweets and questions about his mental state. After the interview, the company's stock price dropped sharply. Tesla is facing a Securities and Exchange Commission probe after Musk tweeted last month that he was thinking of taking the company private before pulling that idea back. Also today, the company announced via an SEC filing that Tesla's chief accounting officer, Dave Morton, resigned after a month on the job, citing "the level of public attention placed on the company." In addition, the head of human resources said she wouldn't return after a leave of absence, Bloomberg reported.
