I always like to start with something interesting and I ran across a list this past week.

0:21.8

It wasn't on BuzzFeed, but it was on something like that where they talked about how all

0:26.6

these celebrities are the worst to their personal assistants.

0:30.3

And they had like the Kardashians on there and Megan and Harry and everybody else on the

0:35.2

list.

0:35.5

But because Elon Musk is in the news so much, I

0:37.5

actually was like, I wonder what he did to his assistant. So I'm going to read you what they said,

0:42.9

and then we can talk about it. When Elon Musk's personal assistant, Mary Beth Brown, asked for

0:49.3

a raise in 2014. Elon Musk told Mary Beth Brown to take two weeks off. He said, this way, I could see how

0:58.2

valuable you really are. Well, after the two weeks, Mary Beth Brown came back to work and Elon

Musk said, you know, I don't need you. And he fired her. And then this list says Elon Musk fired his assistant for

1:15.3

asking for a raise. Okay, Elon Musk did not fire his assistant for asking for a raise. He fired

1:27.2

You know, personal assistance, that's a tough thing. I don even need her. Wow. I'm going to tell you. You know,

1:31.3

1:35.3

But speaking of personal assistance, you know, Mother Teresa, amazing woman. She had an incredible

1:42.1

personal assistant. This woman was truly second to none.

1:47.2
