That was a big part of Trump's appeal to his fan base as well...however that kind of talk is not becoming of someone in a prestigious position like president (or CEO) and ruins their credibility to get things done.
- jpgvm 4y agoHasn't been a problem for Musk or O'Leary when it comes to getting stuff done. It has other downsides sure, GSD isn't one of them.
- dlp211 4y agoThey GSD despite their bad personalities, not because of them. They are the exception to the rule.
- Aeolun 4y agoI don’t think that is necessarily true. There is a huge difference between calling a cow a cow, trying to make the cow sound like a golden calf, and trying to call a pig a cow. Trump did a lot of the latter, corporate entities do a lot of the second, and it would often be nice if they did more of the first.

- YPPH 4y agoI don't think the CEO of a private company is comparable to a politician, particularly a world leader. Given O'Leary has been CEO since the 1990s, steering the airline through Covid-19, the GFC and 9/11, he must be doing something right. At least, that's what shareholders think.
