Tim cook is a awesome COO. As a CEO, Apple is squandering all of the advantages that Steve Jobs left them with. They have been without any clear direction or product vision for a while now, and continuing debacles like the Mac Pro situation (5+ years and counting since Apple has a had a competitive pro stand alone machine), the poor quality of the new Macbook Pro (bad keyboard, dongle hell), the absolute joke that is the Mac Mini indicates that Apple is loosing the ability to even evolutionary improve their products.
This is because you don't have a guy with product vision at the top. Instead you have someone who is great at optimization.
So yes to Tim Cook. No to running Tesla.

- InTheArena 8y agoOperations is, but not at the expense of having a vision of what to deliver. You can hire and define operations, you can't do the same for product vision.
- InTheArena 8y agoWhat elon needs is a clone of Shotwell from SpaceX. Someone who shares the vision, but can execute the day to day.
- staunch 8y agoYes, that's why Elon Musk stays on as CEO of Tesla but it becomes a subsidiary of Apple, Inc.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoIsn’t that Ive’s job?
- nradov 8y agoAn alternative explanation could be that Apple is quietly discontinuing MacOS laptop / desktop computers while putting more resources into replacing them with larger iOS devices. At some point it no longer makes sense to maintain separate operating systems and hardware architectures. All the pundits have been predicting convergence for years now.
