Description: FORTUNE editors discuss in July 2018.

[MUSIC PLAYING] Today we're discussing Elon Musk who's been going on rants and tirades lately, acting pretty crazy on Twitter and elsewhere. Lisa Marie, do you think he's still fit to run his companies Tesla, SpaceX, et cetera? He definitely is not. He is not showing the right leadership qualities at all right now. He's going on rants. He's calling people-- specifically people who have saved children from a cave-- pedophiles. He's sleeping in his office. He is really not in the right mindset to be running one company, let alone multiple companies. You know, I tend to think that the sort of tirades that he's been going on, these are all manifestations of a personality that has good sides and bad sides. The good part of it is something you want to see in a founder which is that they're going to run through brick walls to change industries. They believe all the pressure is on them. But on the other hand, they could get distracted by some of the details. If there's criticism, he's going to go off the wall at people. Yeah. The thing is it's great if you have these delusions of grandeur but actually reach those goals, which Elon just is not doing. And more than that, he just isn't stepping up to the plate. It's like these delusions are-- that's it, they are delusions.
