Leadership takeaways from Musk's Twitter chaos
The Chief Twit is, unsurprisingly and as advertised, being a twit. It is hard to look at the sight of the world’s richest person jeopardising his newly-acquired business, his fearsome reputation and an immense fortune, and not think: “Wow.” And not in a good way. I had huge admiration for Elon Musk’s success, and I respected the way he earned it.
