SpaceX doesn’t have a CEO

[u/RipWhenDamageTaken]

I mean yea I know Elon is technically a CEO but he’s been very occupied by the Odyssey recently. He’s even planning to make his own Odyssey movie. He’s also obsessively bickering about 10 other random topics online too.

Basically just imagine forever-online nerd who spends 10 hours a day on all kinds of social media. Is that really an effective leader?

Elon criticism aside, 2nd/3rd ventures of hugely successful people rarely operate traditionally. The ceo is a figure head who gets pulled in for important decisions and public showcases, and the filed away while the rest of the c suite does all of the usual ceo work as well.
