For five days this summer, Tesla Inc. survived without Elon Musk on the factory floor. He attended his brother’s wedding in Spain and took his kids to Belfast so they could see the set of “Game of Thrones.”
When the wedding came up during a recent New York Times interview, the trip was described as a quick dash in and out.
