So people without social skills can't not be in leadership positions?

  Same reason we keep people without technical skills out of technical roles. Being able to understand, working with, organize, inspire and influence people is at the core of being a leader.

    so why's Elon Musk still there? /s Jocking aside, perfection is enemy of the good. Nobody is all those things, all the time, consistently, over a life time. Being a leader in the real World is mostly about being in the political position of influencing the decision of the entity you lead, being it a small team of developers, the local sports team or a corporation. Look at Steve Jobs, he was capable of being a terrible human being, but was also able to put a lot of money in investors' pockets and so they kept him. Also, having no technical skill has never stopped anybody from being involved in technical roles. They simply end up working where the bar is lower or were management doesn't care.
