      If he keeled over dead SpaceX would keep functioning as it is held up by the actual employees who do the actual work. All a CEO does is provide goals, directions, and demands for more profits. They’re a glorified overpaid manager and those are not in short supply.

          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.

              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.

              You are fucking funny. Sure he has the time to run three corporations, raise his ten kids, and now be involved in the US government. Plus he spends an exorbitant amount of time on Twitter and doing drugs. Not to mention chasing his employees around trying to impregnate them.

              What, in fact, does he actually do Infiniteasshole?
