Former Tesla Employee: Elon Gave Everything—Even Went Into Debt to Save the Company

Former Tesla employee: Elon gives his all for his companies every single day.

“In 2008, when Tesla was at its darkest moment, he put in his personal last millions of dollars to fund it.

He was even couch-surfing in Menlo Park and paying my business expenses with personal credit card debt.

His approach is to do anything required to keep his businesses competitive.

He lived that every single day when I worked for him.”
