In reply to the discussion: Any other CEO would have been fired for what Elon Musk just said [View all]jfz9580m
(15,584 posts)32. He keeps getting credit for the work
Done by SpaceX and Tesla engineers and scientists as if that is stuff he personally oversees and does.
He spends so much time tweeting, skipping and dancing that I dont see how he can be as hardcore as he wants his poor employees to be.
I work on very modest projects and even they are harder during this election season when I keep peeking in during work hours to gape at Trump, Vance and Musk etc in horror.
Those companies must be running on autopilot at this point.
He has to have competent subordinates who do most of the work. This guy isnt doing anything worthwhile.

I had planned to buy a Tesla for my next car, but now I wouldn't touch one with a 10-foot pole.

I did. Tony Stark was a fully-formed character in the story before Musk was born.

Elon was born and grew up in apartheid South Africa, it's looks like he brought some emotional baggage

If you have to keep claiming you're an alpha male, are you really an alpha male?

He holds the votes to determine whether he's fired as the major stockholder. But I'd fire myself if I were like him.
