Elon Musk gave assistant 2-week test when she asked for raise, and she failed

Oh, is it? I dearly love chocolate-dipped strawberries, too.

I’m pretty promiscuous that way. Child of the '60s, what can I say?

Probably clearer, then, to say, “I’m quite fond of him, and greatly admire him.”

Does that help?

Not nearly as well as I’d like to (-:

More seriously, I am not really at liberty to discuss the exact details of my relationship with Mr. Musk or his companies (or, perhaps more precisely, given what I’ve said above, I really shouldn’t be any more specific about myself.)

Sorry. Routine NDAs, basically, but I’ve already said more than I probably should.

But I should probably mention, in the interests of transparency, that I do hold a substantial position in Tesla stock. I am “long Tesla”, as they say.

If my expectations for the stock pan out, my retirement will be a good deal more comfortable than it would be otherwise.

Make of that what you will.
