  If someone is so unhinged that he repedatly can’t control his language and emotions, it is a valid reason to suspect that these Person might have serious psychological Problems. So this Person might not be suiteble to perform his dutys as CEO of a Company. And he also shouldn’t because the Stress and Pressure that comes with this Postion might add to his Problem.

    Are you currently unhinged? Like, I’m not even sure what word you tried to spell here, but why should I not take this as a sign that you can’t control your language or emotions?

    Why should I think Musk can’t “control his language”? Because he said a dirty poo-poo word?

    it is a valid reason to suspect that these Person might have serious psychological Problems.

    Sorry, I just want to be clear, here. You’re raving at me that it’s Musk who might have “psychological problems”? And not you, who obviously can’t control yourself at all?

      I just checked your Account. Created 5 Days ago. Only one Post with Bad ratio, lots of negative Comments. So I guess you are just a Troll and not worth of my Time.

      Is english your first language? Because “Unhinged” is a pretty common Word even for me, with english as a second Language. Here is a Link to a Dictonary that might help you.

        I’m just passing by to say he ain’t worth arguing with.

        He’s literally acting unhinged towards you

        I’m not asking about the word “unhinged”, I’m asking if you consider yourself unhinged because you said:

        repedatly

        What word is that even supposed to be?

        I don’t understand how you don’t look at your own posts, with their bizarre spelling and use of capitalization, and believe you can accuse Elon Musk of “not being in control of his language.”

  He’s a CEO. His job is to guide his company to make money. His actions are actively doing the opposite: he is causing his company to lose money.

  While this happens from time to time, a smart, presumably stable CEO reverses course and engages in damage control when this happens. Instead, Musk is doubling down hard, despite knowing full well this is likely to destroy the platform formerly known as Twitter.

  Look at it this way. You have an investment banker than handles investing a great deal of your money. You just found out said banker just made a series of awful decisions which caused the investments of several of their other clients to crash. They are unrepentant and refuse to take responsibility, instead telling those involved to go fuck themselves.

  Would you want that person to continue to handle your money?

    At Twitter? Sure, but so were the previous guy’s. It’s not actually clear that a social media company can generate revenue at all.

    I agree it seems pretty unlikely that Musk is going to turn it around but that’s because the outcome is probably impossible - it’s not possible for Twitter to make money.

    Tesla and SpaceX, his other companies, are making money. If you’re on the board of those then there’s no reason to wonder if Musk is causing the company to lose money because you can just look at revenues and see that he’s not.

  Well, good decisions aren’t his forte, so what else is left there?

  • crashfrog@lemm.ee ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Are they not? His companies are, on balance, profitable in sectors which were largely written off before he succeeded in them (new car companies, private space launch.)

      We’ve got another fan boy here who doesn’t realize Musk actually isn’t directly responsible for any of the innovations of the companies he funded or purchased. He just had money.

        That’s simply ignorant. Here’s Tom Mueller, co-founder of SpaceX on Musk’s contributions to spaceflight:

        Elon was the best mentor I’ve ever had. Just how to have drive and be an entrepreneur and influence my team and really make things happen. He’s a super smart guy and he learns from talking to people. He’s so sharp, he just picks it up. When we first started he didn’t know a lot about propulsion. He knew quite a bit about structures and helped the structures guys a lot. Over the twenty years that we worked together, now he’s practically running propulsion there because he’s come up to speed and he understands how to do rocket engines, which are really one of the most complex parts of the vehicle. He’s always been excellent at architecting the whole mission, but now he’s a lot better at the very small details of the combustion process. Stuff I learned over a decade-and-a-half at TRW he’s picked up too.

        This isn’t the story of a guy who just “had money”.

  A bit of clear eyed professionalism would be a good start.

  What he has achieved in the past is in the past.

  Tesla is a major public traded company.

  Business is business.

  Your charismatic public facing CEO has turned from an asset to a liability?

  Punt him.

  Tesla is facing some headwinds, increasing competition in the EV space, reported troubles with some of its upcoming products, industrial disputes. Nothing that can’t be dealt with … If your CEO is not shitting the bed in public in another company and quite clearly under a lot of stress.

  How can he be providing the attention and care Tesla needs from its CEO and for that matter Space X etc etc

  More importantly how are the public, shareholders, customers viewing this? Do they think there is a loose unit in charge behaving irrationally and will that affect the confidence in the company?

    Has he? If you’re a shareholder of Tesla or SpaceX why would you think that?

      Because they see what he is doing at Twitter? Like, what the hell dude, that question has such an obvious answer, yet you ask it anyway. And I know why you do it - because now you will try to argue that what happens with Twitter and his public image doesn’t matter to Tesla which is a load of bull
