Sure, until it fails and then it fails spectacularly. I think Musk may be the exception to the general rule. And some founder type CEOs don't go off the rails until they know they're on the way out and don't have to pretend any more. (Not that I think Musk is on his way out any where. I love Musk. All hail Musk.)
But I say those words with a sense that I might be eating them, if something horrible comes out and we all say "gee - should have seen those red flags".
- McLaren_Ferrari 4y agoFor how I conceive business Musk is a borderline scammer. But I wholeheartadly agree with the above message. As you said new elements could come in to make you re-evaluate your admiration By the same token new elements could come in for me to re-evaluate my stance and if we are indeed at the dawn of an era where CEOs become even more politcians, showmen, pop-culture icons then I'd have no problem tipping my hat to Musk as a pioneer of such new powerful trend. Similarly I'd also tip my hat if "creative accounting" becomes the norm and also embracing the concept of manifestation and "self-fulfilling prophecy" concerning the stock price which has to be pumped at all costs to make sure that there is always enough air flowing on the wings to keep the company in air.
