Here's another article with a different take: https://electrek.co/2019/03/11/tesla-former-security-manager...

Well I don't know if they are perfect, but they are miles better than the ton of anti-Tesla propaganda that has been flooding the media for the last year or two.

By the way, I am not saying there are not important criticisms of Musk and Tesla, it's that you need to balance it with all the things that are praiseworthy, and lately that just hasn't been happening. It seems like the more Tesla succeeds, the harder the media try to prove he is either a con man or a complete idiot.

> It was very telling about how much time was wasted throughout the day. Depends on a type of work that one does, for many office jobs today more hours spent working doesn't always translate into more work done. I personally find that taking frequent short breaks surfing web, reading news, checking FB and YT, etc. helps me keep focused and way more productive.

I simultaneously believe that you're correct about short breaks helping focus, that people who understand this effect tend to overestimate it in ways that help them rationalise procrastination, and that the renewed focus gained from a short walk or meditation is probably more helpful than whatever focus is gained from engaging in activities that require the social functions of your brain to kick in.

Individual personalities probably also play a big role here, how introvert/extrovert you are, and how much other social interactions do you have. Working from home can be lonely so virtual social interactions might be of higher importance to me than to, say, some introvert locked whole day in open space office full of people.

As I see it, it's as an extension of the SpaceX smear campaign which, crazy as it sounds, seems like it's a real thing.
