Comment on Tesla’s Pay Deal to Keep Elon Musk: All or Nothingparent

what does that mean? haven't both tesla and spaceX historically struggled with operations under his leadership? don't you think he'd have learned by now if he could?

I think you could only honestly say that Tesla and SpaceX have struggled with operations under his leadership if you're ignoring the level of success that both companies reached so far. He's busy, he's admitted and aware of switching costs of leading two companies - there is value to this though of course too; imagine if Elon only focused on Tesla and not SpaceX - where would we be as a society, where would Elon be position wise? He's following his intuition and his heart which he clearly wears on his sleeves. He's a wonderful role model, and we should support everyone the same way he's gained support from others; yes, he was entrepreneurial from a young age, and "got lucky" by knowing to move to the place that dreams are more easily funded. We fail as a society supporting everyone to reach their dreams to the same level, part of the reason are systems in place that are designed to control and funnel everyone into an economically efficient model - however ignoring the qualitative impact - it's why the idea of flexible learning, learning online at your own pace, etc are going to become the future.
