Quick Glance: Elon Musk and Tesla: Influence of CEO's divisive behavior on company's challenges
  • The wealthiest individual globally freely voices his opinions, often sparking debate.

  • Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has attacked U.S. election integrity, embraced White-supremacist propaganda, and accused President Joe Biden of treason.

  • Experts suggest that Musk's conduct may deter potential customers, but larger issues impact his company. With growing competition in the electric vehicle market, his polarizing personality could lead to more significant long-term damage.

  • While Musk may be damaging Tesla’s image with some consumers, the primary focus remains on the product and its dependability. Many consumers do not base their purchasing decisions on the political views of the company's leader.

Quick Glance: Rams legend Roman Gabriel dies at age 83
  • Roman Gabriel, one of pro football's best quarterbacks during the 1960s, passed away at the age of 83, as announced by his son.

  • In 1962, Gabriel was the No. 1 overall pick in the AFL Draft and the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Opting to join the Rams instead of the Raiders proved to be a beneficial decision for the franchise.

  • Gabriel, along with the Rams' Fearsome Foursome defensive line, led Los Angeles to an impressive record in the '60s, including two division titles.

  • Despite not being in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Gabriel's career surpasses many quarterbacks in Canton, Ohio. He still holds the Rams' career record with 154 touchdown passes.
