Musk is an irresponsible chief executive. My understanding is that he's pretty hands-off with SpaceX; that might be why it's doing well.

- Gud 4y agoWouldn’t that signal competence? He has set up an amazing organization furthering his ultimate goal(colonizing space). Now he can waste his free time on Twitter, just like everybody else
- denton-scratch 4y ago> He has set up an amazing organization I agree; he's chosen good people, and he's set an ethos. It's not just luck. But "wasting his time on Twitter" cost him $44Bn, and landed him with serious problems he can do without. People who control that much money don't discuss their financial plans on Twitter for lulz, because it's irresponsible.
- panick21_ 4y agoThis is just such nonsense. Musk is the literally the longest serving CEO in the car and space industry. And he is well known for being the opposite of hands-off. You can read interviews with lots of former engineers, journalist who cover SpaceX and pretty much every other source, Musk is incredibly hands on, he leads engineering meeting that can sometimes be 4h long going into the night. What is your source for this 'hands-off' attitude? Because its the opposite of what every source who actually works or observes SpaceX professionally. The reality is many people just hate Musk and feel the need to not just dislike him personal but try to discredit everything he has ever done. Giving credit to somebody who you personally dislike as a person is just not something many people are willing to accept.
