Elon Musk Calms Down, and More From Tesla's Shareholder Meeting

When Elon Musk was a kid, he had so much trouble managing his time, that his younger brother Kimbal would lie to him about the bus schedule. Elon would show up a few minutes after the supposed arrival--and have just enough time to hop aboard. A few decades on, the whole world knows about Elon's habit of blowing deadlines. And he admits it can be a problem. "This is something I'm trying to get better at," he said from the stage of Silicon Valley's Computer History Museum on Tuesday afternoon, at Tesla's annual shareholders meeting. A few days after a Twitter rage fest aimed at the media, a month after refusing to answer questions about Tesla's financial state during an investors' call, and two months after getting in a public spat with the feds investigating a deadly crash in one of his cars, Musk's attitude when he appeared before his fellow shareholders was conciliatory.
