How does he even have time to play games
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.
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
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'm thinking you've never been near a CEO for any period of time. It's a non stop barrage of critical choices with major outcomes. Day and night.
Life is a barrage of critical choices with major outcomes. The ability to make decisions is not a distinguishing trait amongst humans.
True but often do you need to make ones that affect millions of people or involve millions of dollars. It's not the ability to make decisions. It's the level of responsibility in those decisions.
What size business? A "CEO" of a company with 20 or so employees is a whole different thing to Musk.
This guy was in my family for a decade during his rice up the ladder. Company he worked when I knew him was over 200k employees. He was VP there but he's CEO at a different giant company now.
That's nice, but it's still only an anecdote and with your proximity to him leads to a bias. What I've learned about these people is that their real skill is being a smooth talker. I've dealt with business and political types and all the successful ones are smooth talkers. The root word for conman is Confidence, but that confidence doesn't have to have any backing to it.
Confidence also means they need to have it in you. If you make wrong decisions you won't be at the top for very long and your company will tank. Not defending CEO's. Just saying in my experience these people are a different breed and most people would crumble.

That's called psychopathy.
Yes definately. Most have been found to have toxoplasmosis as well which makes them take more risks.
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."
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.
The same way Trump manages to golf as president.
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.
To the point where they actively keep him away from the engineers as he keeps demanding impossible things.
Well if you cheat you don't really need much time to climb to the top.
He have so much time for posting on twitter cause he don't have normal job so he have time to play games.
