BBC Breakfast WALKOUT: ‘I am bored now, I’m off’ Presenter disappears before show ends
BBC BREAKFAST presenter Ben Thompson walked out of a live broadcast saying “I am bored now, I’m off" while discussing Elon Musk's new advice on how to streamline work.
BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Bundock was left on her own after her co-host Ben Thompson walked out before the end of the show.
The BBC programme was discussing Elon Musk who wanted Tesla staff to walk out of unproductive meetings or ignore company rules if needed.
It ended abruptly when Mr Thompson walked off the set as a joke, leaving Ms Bundock to awkwardly end the show.
Mr Thompson said: “I think it is time we went now.

I am bored now, I’m off
“I think I am bored now.
“I’m off. See you later.”
Previously on the BBC programme, Ms Bundock also made comments about the BBC saying “a lot of meetings going on here.”
She added: “We have got to go for a meeting in a minute actually to talk about how good this programme was.”
Work has temporarily stopped at Tesla plants in California for upgrades aimed at increasing output from 2,000 to 6,000 cars per week by the end of June.
A leaked email told staff other ways they could help streamline operations.
Mr Musk gave his thoughts on improving productivity in the email which included avoiding large meetings - which he says are the "blight of big companies".
He said: ”It is not rude to leave, it is rude to make someone stay and waste their time.”
