Elon Musk can be admired or despised for many reasons, but the merging of the companies with his persona was always troubling to me. I find it deeply unhealthy.

Elon Musk can be admired or despised for many reasons, but the merging of the companies with his persona was always troubling to me. I find it deeply unhealthy.
Same with Jobs I guess.
- iratewizard 6y agoRunning a company itself is deeply unhealthy. To me, his cult of personality around his companies looks like his way of coping with that extremely high stress.
- Fjolsvith 6y agoMusk reminds me of Gates and Jobs.
- rsynnott 6y agoHe could always step back and allow the board to appoint non-mad CEOs. Becoming a cult leader is not a great coping mechanism.
- ashtonkem 6y agoMost CEOs don’t behave like this.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 6y agoCEOs of other auto manufacturers don't last as long as Musk (he has the longest tenure globally, by far). They also aren't product architect of their company, nor CEO and lead designer of another large manufacturing company either.
- ashtonkem 6y agoHe doesn’t have to do that, he made all of those choices.
