Toledano, who has been on leave of absence from the company, told Bloomberg she would not be returning to the firm. The pair quit a day after Musk provoked fresh concern after smoking marijuana on a live web show with US comedian Joe Rogan. Asked about the wisdom of smoking marijuana while he is under investigation by the SEC for the “take private” tweet, Musk told the Guardian by email: “Guardian is the most insufferable newspaper on planet Earth”. On Friday afternoon, Musk told Tesla employees to ignore what he called “a lot of fuss and noise in the media” in an all-staff email published on the company blog. Many of Musk’s Twitter followers questioned if smoking marijuana was against the company’s policy, while others mocked the CEO’s initial $420 bid, a number that has become code for marijuana.
