A story from Ashlee Vance's 2015 New York Times bestseller, "Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future," recently resurfaced, portraying the billionaire CEO as a very demanding leader. Despite helming a group of companies aiming to revolutionise the world, Musk wasted no time correcting the narrative.
Musk responded on Thursday, dismissing the story as "total nonsense." The story narrated how his assistant of 12 years Mary Beth Brown, requested a raise. In response, Musk reportedly asked her to take a two-week leave of absence instead.
