Why isn't he seeing his successful companies fail then?
- baz00 3y agoYet. They don't do anything which can't be done by someone else for less money and at less risk to investors.
- rovr138 3y agoWhich other ones did he run directly where he had the 'expertise'? Basically, they had other people to help guide it vs just Musk doing it himself.
- coldtea 3y agoAs opposed to Bezos and Jobs and Cook and Ellisson and Zuckerberg every other CEO, which doesn't have "people to run it"?

- kaba0 3y agoThey fail to amuse me either, like, CEOs not being some gods is not a controversial statement, you ain’t disproving anything. That myth (or rather propaganda) that they are some übermensch that work more than you could ever imagine and are so productive and it’s all thanks to the magic of powernaps or whatever bullshit they make up to sell you the temporarily embarrassed billionaire tale is thoroughly debunked. They are ordinary people who got into a very lucky situation and didn’t fuck up too bad.
- coldtea 3y ago>CEOs not being some gods is not a controversial statement, you ain’t disproving anything. Bro, do you even HN? That's like the gospel here...
- kaba0 3y agoHN is definitely too libertarian to my liking, and many believe that the free market will solve every problem known to mankind in itself. But that’s their (naive) worldview.
- piptastic 3y agoI think the major difference there is, those people are all running one company. So while they also had/have other people to run it, they were/are much more significantly involved.
