> If anything, Musk has proven how ceremonial the CEO role is. He has the title CEO of at least 4 companies, and claims 80 hours per week is a full time role. So at best CEO is a part time job. I think the thing about CEO is that you can delegate not just the things you probably shouldn't personally be doing, but also the things you should. I'd believe that some CEOs have a real job, but it's pretty clear that a lot have delegated it away to nearly nothing.
