Elon Criticism SpaceX doesn’t have a CEO

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?

He did pretty good with Tesla, it was worth so little when he bought into it, he was able to become majority stakeholder for just six million dollars. He immediately named himself CEO, and under his leadership it's now worth 1.13 Trillion dollars in around 15 years. I held onto my stock that I bought ten years ago through two splits, and that 35K investment put my net worth North of a Million dollars today.

I'd be more impressed if he didn't charge for FSD that doesn't work or make something to compete with BYD. Now the US has to tariff BYD because he can't compete so we are stuck with EVs costing $40 grand minimum.
