Really showing off how much work CEOs need to do.
Everyone who saw his Elden Ring build knows he’s as good a videogame player as he’s a father.
He’s on track to become the world’s first trillion aire, he’s access to the US President’s inner circle and yet he’s just a pitiful excuse of a person
This is going to sound ignorant/stupid, but how is he so rich?
Tesla isn’t a huge car brand compared to the likes of Ford, Renault, Volkswagen, etc. They’re big in the EV space, but we’ve been waiting over a decade for an affordable EV from Tesla and all we’ve got since then is just nonsense. Obviously he’s been getting huge bumps from his position, but how has it only made him so rich? As an aside, how the fuck hasn’t the rest of the Tesla board not sacked him yet?! His last contribution was the Cybertruck, and his next step is literally to suck ALL profit into a dividend payout for himself. What viable business does something this stupid?!
I just don’t get how he’s so rich. In a sane world, the Tesla board would kick him out and put someone more devoted to the brand in charge.
Oh how unfair. He busts his ass running 3 companies, running one more company into the ground, running around Trump’s club annoying everyone, arguing with everyone on twitter, attending major events, and he has enough free time left over to gain top 10 skills in multiple video games?
No. He does not. Is he cheating or just lying about everything?
My boss still believes he plays a major role in designing the rockets at Space-X. Surprisingly, my boss apparently isn’t a child.
I’m good friends with someone who worked at SpaceX. It’s sort of an open secret that Elon has an entire team of people designated specifically to keeping him away from the engineers. Their entire job is to run interference and keep him distracted, so he can’t go marching into the engineers’ areas and ruin all of their work. Because apparently they have learned that if he is given free reign, he’ll tell the engineers to do a bunch of impossible shit, fire them all when they say they can’t, and then the management is left scrambling to hire new engineers.
I dont know about path of exiles, but he exploited a bug that was going around to get that Diablo spot.
Given that in diablo it was a bug, I think thats fair game. But with path of exiles if he’s cheating as in using hacks or whatever, thats hilarious and fucked and he dserves the ban lol.
How does he even have time to play games
Because he is a CEO.
CEOs don’t actually do anything, they are just a face. They collect all the money and then fuck off to do whatever they want, which for musk is TV interviews, trump rallies, obsess over Twitter and apparently play video games.
I mean ideally CEOs make informed decisions and have at least a pretty good grasp about what the company does and what could be done to make it better (after listening to people under them). CEOs like Musk are lazy and skip the actual work and make uninformed decisions that hurt the company.
Since CEOs are never actually punished for doing the latter it becomes the norm more and more.
I’m thinking you’ve never been near a CEO for any period of time. It’s a non stop barrage of critical choices with major outcomes. Day and night.
Life is a barrage of critical choices with major outcomes. The ability to make decisions is not a distinguishing trait amongst humans.
What size business? A “CEO” of a company with 20 or so employees is a whole different thing to Musk.
I’ve had his role a couple times on a smaller scale. My job was to make one or two decisions per day, communicate the ideology of why to subordinates, and hold them accountable. I spent tens of hours reasoning why and how, then ten minutes doing the work.
Elon skips the reasoning part. He just spends a few minutes per day communicating nonsense. My favorite line so far is, “We coup who we want.”
