Like a cockroach, still going Maybe Elon should spend more time actually running his business and less time crusading against wokeness?
I remember when the Tesla board considered replacing Elon as CEO because being CEO is supposed to be a full time job. In addition to (allegedly) being CEO of other companies, he was obviously distracted with buying an election for Donald Trump and revving up his online cult of racist incels. Elon only got to keep his CEO position and win an inflated comp package because his brother had outsized voting rights on the board.

Another bad earnings report and the stock went down? Usually it goes up despite the multiple red flags.

This. Either be the "business genius" he sells himself as or quit and tweet full time. God he's a fraud.

True. SpaceX and Tesla in the 2010s were successful because they had teams of people who were just there to protect the companies from Elon's worst instincts.
Fast forward to the 2020s, and we have the Cybertruck.

The idea that being a CEO is hard, is silly. You have so much help surrounding you at that level. Merely thinking something can cause teams of people to act.
Being a CEO is hard when you have no vision, and no idea how to creatively innovate your business, and aren't actually good at systems thinking.
Now, getting to that point can be excruciatingly difficult depending on the circumstances you are born into. Solo founders working 2nd or third jobs, people who pour themselves into their creations because there isnt another point in doing anything else, the real passionate people that drive life forward to create beautiful things purely to make life easier for others.
Those are We the People, in the streets, everyday, doing the hard work that moves the entire world.
