Elon Musk can be like a "toddler" having a "tantrum," Tesla's former marketing chief said. Colette Bridgman made the comments in an interview for a BBC documentary called "The Elon Musk Show", which examines how Musk became the world's richest person. "I wasn't seeing Elon – I was seeing this person that was taken by anger. Because if Elon Musk can take the time to sleep there and be there 24 hours a day, everyone else should make the time." "The Elon Musk Show" won't be broadcast outside the UK, the BBC said, citing rights issues.
