No one has ever complained about Musk running SpaceX.

  That’s because he doesn’t.

  Yes, for the exact same reason nobody has ever complained about me running SpaceX - because neither of us does.

    Well, only one of you two is listed as the CEO of SpaceX. And I would expect that if there was much to complain about, it would be directed at that person, not at a random unaffiliated person on HN.

      Fact: Musk does not run SpaceX. It doesn't matter if he has the CEO title.

        Cool. CEO is still a title of a person representing the face of the company, regardless of whether he or Gwyneth Shotwell actually runs the company (which, i believe, is very common knowledge at this point that Shotwell is). My point being, sure, you can say complaints should be directed towards Shotwell instead of Musk, despite Musk being the CEO. However, claiming that directing complaints towards entirely unaffiliated random HN users makes as much sense as directing them towards the company CEO is just bs.

    Ok, so going back: Steve Jobs is the CEO of Apple and Tim Cook the COO. Who ran Apple at this time? Hint: The COO is just an executor.
