I address the idea of requiring Elon Musk spend a certain number of hours per week on Tesla. I also critique the idea of required the Tesla board to oversee Elon Musk's political activity.

Elon has proven himself over and over to be one of the greatest innovators and value-creators of all time.

Yet some people want the Tesla Board to micromanage his hours and police his outside activity. This would be a terrible mistake.

You don’t babysit Elon. You treat him like an adult and give him performance-based compensation tied to long-term ambitious milestones (like market cap, revenue/profit, etc). And then expect him to knock it out of the park like he’s done with every other performance-based Tesla compensation plan.
