Counterpoint: what other CEO would be involved in low level stuff like looking at code or personally interviewing newly acquired employees?
Things like that are beneath most CEOs.
This is exactly what makes Musk a different (and better) CEO. When needed he'll sleep on the factory floor and help fix manufacturing issues and when needed he'll look at the code.
Plus, I assume the code is not the biggest part of the interview but provides context for something to talk about.
Musk interviewed ALL of the early SpaceX employees (not exclusively, but he was one of the interviewers).
Those who were interviewed by him say that he's very good at figuring out if someone is good or a bulshitter.
So I assume he's doing the interviewers at Twitter for the same reason: to separate chaff from the wheat
- jquery 4y agoYou know what else is below most CEOs? Tweeting poop emojis when given a rundown on why his arguments are specious. Elon is a mixed bag. He’s reminds me of a living Steve Jobs, in a way. People sometimes forget he’s human like the rest of us.
