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.
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?
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.
this is a really dumb question.
I rephrased it, but I still dunno how you're finding somebody "petty". Petty implying shallow, vain, selfish. And somehow Musk is... better than most CEOs? The man who didn't like people shit talking him on Twitter so he bought it and ran it into the ground?
But it's just talk. Just. Talk.
Meanwhile in the real world other CEOs create investment products, home furnishings and consumer entertainments. While Musk creates spaceships. Yes, those other guys look damn petty in comparison. And by petty I mean small. Do I need to underline my point again?
Um, the research, engineering, and design departments at other companies create those things, just like the research, engineering, and design departments at Space X create spaceships. CEOs don't create shit.
Do.. Do you really think Elon knows how a rocket works?
None of these people "make" anything. They get paid millions to tell other people to make things. Overpaid. If you can't grasp that, I don't think I can help you. It's like trying to convince the village idiot the factory owner isn't the one making the product. CEOs have value, but the value is not worth what they're paid. He gets no extra credit from me for being an overpaid manager, who is also a piece of shit human being.
Musk doesn’t create anything. His engineers do that. They have designers and engineers and actual smart people working at SpaceX. Musk is just Mr money bags at this point
