> Musk is precisely the bad kind of senior talent
Tell that to the investors. He has made them a fortune in every enterprise he has ever run. What kind of senior talent would you want? You talk about documented success, but who has more of that than Elon Musk? It's a short list. If you don't like him, just say it, but don't make ridiculous claims.
- gamblor956 8y agoWell, not SolarCity. They were about to go bankrupt and were saved only because Elon used Tesla to acquire them. Not BoringCo, which has yet to make money and is privately owned. Not SpaceX, which just announced massive layoffs (and which is also privately owned). Not even Paypal, where the technology stack came from Thiel, and the business decisions that led it to becoming the payment gateway for a generation of Internet companies...also came from Thiel. Elon's reign as CEO was a disaster and he was unceromoniously fired.
- travisoneill1 8y agoIf SpaceX doesn't count as a success, I, and everyone I have ever met is a complete failure. Success does not mean perfection.
- dralley 8y agoWho deserves more credit for SpaceX's current success, Musk or Gwynne Shotwell? This is a serious question.
- synaesthesisx 8y agoSpaceX's incredible success would have been impossible without Gwynne Shotwell at the helm. Tesla needs someone of this caliber on the board
- gamblor956 8y agoSpaceX hasn't succeeded yet. It's close, but it's like a wedding ceremony in progress: you can't call it a success until it's actually a success.
