> The way he got bored running Tesla and SpaceX for ~20 years?

For all practical purposes, doesn't Shotwell run SpaceX and Elon just shows up to give "input", whenever the capital raise du-jour is necessary, and to do the marketing and PR?

It does seem to me he will need another Shotwell for either Tesla or Twitter, though. You can be CEO of as many companies as you want, but if the CEO is also doing the Operations part of the work, then you're constrained to pretty much one company at a time. I wonder if we'll see Jack come back to Twitter.



So the best argument you have here is that Musk is good at hiring competent people? Sounds to me like this makes him an excellent CEO.

No.


So no he doesn't give "input"? Shotwell is definitely in charge.


Is that so?
