On that October night during his work binge at the Cape, when Musk asked to speak to Dontchev, the engineer had just gotten home after three straight days of work and cracked open a bottle of wine. At first he ignored the unknown number on his phone, but then one of his colleagues called his wife. Tell Kiko to get back to the hangar right away. Musk wants him. âIâm like super tired, half-drunk, havenât slept in days, so I got in the car, bought a pack of cigarettes to get me going, and made it back to the hangar,â he says. âI worried about getting pulled over for drunk driving, but that seemed less of a risk than ignoring Elon.â
When Dontchev got there, Musk told him to organize a âskip-levelâ series of meetings to talk to the engineers one level below the top managers. Out of that came a shake-up. Dontchev was elevated to chief engineer at the Cape, and his mentor Rich Morris, a calm veteran manager, was put in charge of operations. Dontchev then made a smart request. He said he wanted to report to Morris rather than directly to Musk. The result was a smooth-running team led by a manager who knew how to be a Yoda-like mentor and an engineer who was eager to match Muskâs intensity.
