Comment by db2@lemmy.world on Elon Musk Dragged After His Own Chatbot Admits He's A 'Significant Spreader' Of Misinformation

Implying he gives a shit. The thing about people who lack any empathy is they’re immune to embarrassment even when they’re the most embarrassing human on the planet.

But he runs a space program. Doesn’t he get credit for that?

If he keeled over dead SpaceX would keep functioning as it is held up by the actual employees who do the actual work. All a CEO does is provide goals, directions, and demands for more profits. They’re a glorified overpaid manager and those are not in short supply.

I think yr kinda pulling that out of your ass there. I think there’s more to it.

Like what? I’m actually just curious.

Like he’s doing more to run it than you are suggesting.

You are fucking funny. Sure he has the time to run three corporations, raise his ten kids, and now be involved in the US government. Plus he spends an exorbitant amount of time on Twitter and doing drugs. Not to mention chasing his employees around trying to impregnate them.

What, in fact, does he actually do Infiniteasshole?

Sure a CEO does other shit. It’s all the same stuff a manager would do. You really think that if daddy Musk vanished the literal rocket scientists working there wouldn’t be able to keep doing their work? The trained accountants and managerial staff would curl up under their desks unable to carry on? The value of a CEO is both real, and extremely overstated. They’d have a new CEO before the end of the month.

In a nutshell, yes he runs the company. No it isn’t some badge of genius, he manages a company. Many other people are just as, if not more qualified.

Yes, he’s doing it. And all those other guys aren’t (in fact they look rather petty in comparison). So yes, I give him credit. Bigass credit.

Are you saying other CEOs look petty? Or the actual employees and talent at SpaceX look petty?

Are you aware Elon bought the title of “founder of Tesla”?

He’s not invented jack shit. Dude’s a moron.

Honestly a big credit to the people working there is just how many highly evaluated start ups of former SpaceX employees there are. Just a bunch a talented people given an opportunity to use it

But he runs a spaceship company. How many of those have we got?

I already know you aren’t going to change your mind, and I already answered your initial question, so why would I keep arguing with the proverbial village idiot?

In all fairness, Musk was pretty effective at fundraising and getting government contracts

At this point, he’s just a liability. He once walked in, demanded to rethink everything and meet an unreasonable deadline, and slept in his office for the duration. SpaceX is made up of people who are passionate about what they do, and it worked…But that’s a one time thing. My boss asks me to push myself to the limits to save us both? I will, and I have. It has a real cost, it takes a lot of time to recover from, and a little bit of your health is just gone for good

Elon did that… But then got high on the smell of his shit. They created a unit to distract him, because he learned the wrong lesson, he thought that was good management. That is not effective management - that’s a desperate gamble for survival. Repeat it, and you’ve shown yourself to be incompetent as a leader

Then came the bigoted social network unmasking… That made him a liability reputation wise, his formerly greatest strength

Does the rich deserve credit for failing upward?
