Why? Could it be that the financials are so bad they are unfixable? Could it be that that person is being pushed to stretch things a bit here and there to make them look better?
Maybe. Could it be that qualified people with financial backgrounds don't understand what it's like to be under THE SPOTLIGHT and think they can handle it before they get in there and say "Oh hell no" and walk?
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe all finance and accounting people moving up in management spend time in boot camps with training sessions for "Being a public face in a personality-driven company" and "Learning to love being vilified." That's never been my impression though. I may be stereotyping, but I think people who can thrive in that kind of public-facing position are a lot more likely to have gone into Sales or Marketing positions.
And on the internal side of things, it's probably almost as difficult dealing with an erratic and public CEO like Musk as it is dealing with an erratic and public President like Trump.
