    Yeah, being a CEO is clearly not the full-time job that requires marathon-level endurance that the Acela class likes to paint it as.

      He’s the CEO of five companies. If he really works 100 hours a week like he says (and maybe ketamine does make that possible), that means being a CEO is at best a part-time job.

        Yup. 100%. People have been saying for decades that being a CEO (often expanded out to CxOs, too) is like being some kind of super-star athlete and that people in those positions get paid many many many multiples of the average wage of employees they oversee because they are just operating next level and work so fucking hard and so many hours, too.

        Virtually every time Elon hits the news we are all reminded in quite stark terms what complete bullshit that narrative was.

      Somehow Musk has time to shitpost on Twitter for hours, run the US military and be the CEO of like 5 companies. Guess he saves a lot of time by not spending any time with his children.

      It’s always been about returning to the indentured servitude and elite wealthy man controlled world that was temporarily interrupted with an experiment in civil rights, workers rights, women’s rights, etc.

      They figured out all they had to do was pause progress in the economic sector for all the minority groups that benefited from those movements, and drastically and continually increase the funneling of resources and profits into the hands of the one group that used to control and own it all, making it only a matter of time until we returned to the good old days.
