How does he even have time to play games

He has people. For the wealthy, being busy is a choice. He can decide to disconnect from his duties whenever he wants, because he has entire teams of people who will pick up the slack.

He took a break from tweeting all day

When you're that rich, ie the richest person on the planet, time is not a scarcity. His management style is to say do it or your fired. Doesn't take a lot of time to be a dick to everyone.

Well if you cheat you don't really need much time to climb to the top.

I've had his role a couple times on a smaller scale. My job was to make one or two decisions per day, communicate the ideology of why to subordinates, and hold them accountable. I spent tens of hours reasoning why and how, then ten minutes doing the work.

Elon skips the reasoning part. He just spends a few minutes per day communicating nonsense. My favorite line so far is, "We coup who we want."

Because he is a CEO.

CEOs don't actually do anything, they are just a face. They collect all the money and then fuck off to do whatever they want, which for musk is TV interviews, trump rallies, obsess over Twitter and apparently play video games.

There are CEOs like that. Then there are CEOs completely reshaping their industry while figuring out what new systems the company needs from scratch. Everyone wants the second kind, but most of them are the first kind, including Elon.

I mean ideally CEOs make informed decisions and have at least a pretty good grasp about what the company does and what could be done to make it better (after listening to people under them). CEOs like Musk are lazy and skip the actual work and make uninformed decisions that hurt the company.

Since CEOs are never actually punished for doing the latter it becomes the norm more and more.

CEOs like that just needs some extra motivation, maybe a 20 mill pay raise will make them work a tiny bit harder

[-] Deello@lemm.ee 24 points 1 day ago

The same way Trump manages to golf as president.
