Elon Musk runs six companies at once, which means he relies on a lot of other people to do things when he's not around.
Who are these people? How do they fit into the Elon Universe?

#SCOOP 🍨on @UAW talks w/@DavidWelch47
@KeithNaughton
The UAW sees a 30% pay raise (including COLA) as a magic number that could win ratification and give it a credible sales pitch to organize other non-union plants, like $TSLA #UAWStrike $GM $F $STLA

NEW: Tesla engineers admit in newly revealed depositions that the company did nothing to address Autopilot's inability to recognize crossing traffic following Joshua Brown's death in 2016
w/ @MalathiNayak

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
MobilEye technology powered Autopilot from 2014-2016 until Tesla's Autopilot was first released in Oct. 2016. Because MobilEye is a separate company, Tesla engineers would not be responsible for working on it. Highway ADAS was not designed to handle cross traffic at the time. x.com/wholemarsblog/…?

A year ago Mattel invited me to their headquarters in El Segundo to see their insane toy creation workshop – which fills a whole 196k square-foot warehouse – and learn about the #Barbie movie. It’s been a wild ride.
But hey, #Barbie looks like it will be huge. That sure helps. Mattel even allowed its own errors to become part of the story.
And another benefit: It might help Hollywood rethink its aversion to making tentpole films for women. An analysis from @ShawnRobbinsWho revealed only about 6% (!!) of all movies with a $100m budget have *ever* been directly targeted at, or reliant upon, women.
