Ex-Tesla employee who alleges she was fired for failing drug test: Musk smoking weed 'like a slap in the face'

An ex-Tesla employee who says she was fired for testing positive for THC, the ingredient found in marijuana, called CEO Elon Musk's decision to smoke marijuana during an interview a "slap in the face."

Crystal Guardado, a single mother, told Bloomberg News that she worked at Tesla's Fremont, California, manufacturing center for four months before being dismissed. Guardado alleged that Musk and Tesla use a "vague" druge use policy to target and punish employees who are seen as a "threat."

Guardado told the outlet that her use of doctor-recommended drops could make her test positive for the drug, a condition she says she told the company about prior to her termination.

What kind of lesson is that?  Musk is just sending kids the message that if they partake in the devil's lettuce, they too can become billionaire who builds race cars and rockets (and puts race cars on rockets).

Smoking pot on a live interview was a huge mistake for Musk. He will lose Space-X for sure and likely
Tesla too.  How can such a smart man be so stupid?

Yes.  I agree with that statement.   More evidence is required to render an internet verdict.
