No, Musk is just a moron. You just need to look at his interactions with former staff to realize it was his ego and inability to admit being wrong that ran the company into the ground.

He’s been behaving like a bratty child, except he’s the owner of the company so any tantrums he throws have direct influence.

Or he’s just a narcissist that can’t run a company if he’s not held on a leash by people who actually know what they’re doing.

Not a very good scam when getting caught is pretty much inevitable.

In what non private residence enclosed places are you alone? I can’t think of any. Are you talking about hotels or… Because yea that would be ridiculous. But also, since you’re alone it’s not like anyone can enforce the mandate or even know you’re not following it.
