- clouddrover 5y agoThe "indispensable man" narrative is the kind of story that narcissists like to tell about themselves. But if Musk has built an organization that genuinely can't continue without him then that's his failure as a leader.
- 1cvmask 5y agoBuilding a cult of personality is real real hard. But building lasting institutions in incredibly harder. Nikola Tesla was resurrected by the eponymous car manufacturer in the popular mindset. Thomas Edison built General Electric which is still a massive conglomerate in many diversified areas. A lasting legacy in terms of a business entity is super hard to build.
