Part of the deal with being CEO is that you get a big paycheck in exchange for being the public face of a company. For most people, at most companies, that means, at minimum, trying not to make an ass of yourself in public.
Elon Musk is not the CEO of the website formerly known as Twitter, he hired Linda Yaccarino as CEO in 2023. CNN is fucking stupid. Hes the private owner, you can’t be fired from that.
(Note: I am not an elon stan, fuck that guy. Just clearing up any misconceptions)
This is a perfect example of the criminally underused word “sophomoric.” Almost all teenagers and young male adults go through a phase of it. It’s why second-year college students are “sophomores,” because right at that age is where it usually hits is peak.
It means that you’re smart enough to know that Elon Musk isn’t the CEO of Twitter, which is significant. Congratulations! But you’re also convinced that what you know is all a person would need to know, and other people being stupid is usually the explanation for things. You don’t take time to read the article which is talking about Tesla and SpaceX, both of which he is the CEO of. Nope, you just see “Elon Musk” and “CEO” and you know that a lot of people aren’t as well-informed as you, so you insert the word “Twitter” and spring to the races, convinced that you are right and this global media empire must just be full of idiots. You don’t even need to read the article. After all, you’re smarter than them.
Usually people grow out of it, eventually, as they contact the real world which contains other people who are also smart, and learn to think twice.
Exactly, for example a sophomoric wit might also ignore that Elon Musk is the primary or most powerful stock holder of those other companies while they try to put down someone else for lack of knowledge.
Where in the article did it say he was the CEO of Twitter? The article is about the upcoming Tesla earnings call and how the actions of Musk as Tesla’s CEO could (or normally would) impact the company’s outlook to investors.
And how the unusual structures of Tesla and SpaceX lead to him being much more difficult to remove as CEO from those companies, as compared to more conventionally organized businesses.
