It’s nine o’clock, or else…
Jim Ambras, who was vice president under Musk when he ran former software company Zip2, added in a BBC documentary that his boss’s face would turn red when he realized the entire company’s employees were not in the office. Even at that hour.
He also mentioned that Musk used to spend the evening hours looking to see who was sitting in his place and who was not.
For his part, former Zip2 systems engineer Branden Spikes confirmed that the American billionaire often worked late and slept under his desk.
He also noted that Musk was an unusual colleague, and he also believed he knew everything regarding everything.
