What Elon Musk's Asperger's comment could mean for the business world
CNN
Twenty-six seconds into his "Saturday Night Live" monologue last weekend, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and second richest person in the world, opened up about having Asperger syndrome.
It was a bold move, even for someone known for pushing boundaries in business and in life. The serial entrepreneur and founder of Tesla, (TSLA TESLA) SpaceX and the Boring Co. sold his first company to Compaq for $307 million when he was 28 years old, then went on to help create the precursor to what would become PayPal (PYPL) — before getting ousted by his co-founders. (He held onto his stock until its 2002 IPO, and the company was acquired by eBay (EBAY) later that year.) Musk's candid disclosure on SNL has opened up a larger conversation about business leadership and the autism spectrum.More Related News
